    I used to collect quotes that I found to be interesting/amusing. I dug up a few of them here. These are all attributed to Albert Einstein.

    Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

    God is subtle, but he is not malicious.

    When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That’s relativity.

    If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.

    I know another good one from Einstein, but I'm not sure if its true or only legend. It is said that asked once by a woman to explain the difference between time and eternity he said:
    I have time to explain it to you, but you need an eternity to understand it.
