AMAZING QUOTES

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

-Albert Einstein


What am I but motion? In What direction shall I move but forward, when going backwards takes me only to where I am now standing?
Where I walk shall be my teaching.
What I see shall be my learning.
My silence shall be my growing.
