If I give you a pfennig, you will be one pfennig richer and I’ll be one pfennig poorer. But if I give you an idea, you will have a new idea, but I shall still have it too.

If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.

It is important to foster individuality, for only the individual can produce the new ideas.

The only sure way to avoid making mistakes is to have no new ideas.

Creativity is contagious. Pass it on.

Don’t become a seeker of success. Become a person of value.

Don’t dream of being a good person, be a human being is valuable and gives value to life.

Empathy is patiently and sincerely seeing the world through the other person’s eyes. It is not learned in school; it is cultivated over a lifetime.
