Quotes from an amazing man

I was watching television and there was a car advert for the Toyata Hybrid drive on, but the advert started with a quote from Albert Einstein. In my attempt to find the quote, I came across a few sites with his words, and I thought I'd put some here for you folk.
"One had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year."
LOL
I guess that is why the gap year after studies in highschool is becoming so popular these days before people hit university, and even taking long holidays at the end of your university studies too.
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
Right on the money XD
"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."
~shuts mouth~
"Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it."
How still very true to this day.
"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."
Cherish your mistakes and learn I say.
"No, this trick won't work...How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?"
Emotional generation is something I think science will take forever to explain, if it is possible at all for that matter.
"When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, it seems like two minutes. When you sit on a hot stove for two minutes, it seems like two hours that's relativity."
~LOL
"If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?"
Yeah, so stop asking if we know what we're doing~ XD
Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.
~agrees~

In the end, I didn't find the quote I was after. =( If I see the ad, I'll try to remember it verbatim and stick it up. If you see it before I do, please tell me it XD
