Here is a list of quotes. Ones without a name on the bottom are mine. As you should be able to tell, I like Albert Einstein's quotes the best. Please note that many Albert Einstein quotes were sent around the Internet by email by someone called Kevin Harris. (I have no idea who he is) They may be distributed freely as long as you provide that acknowledgment

"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
Albert Einstein (Compiled by Kevin Harris 1995)
"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts." (Sign hanging in Einstein's office at Princeton)
Albert Einstein (Compiled by Kevin Harris 1995)
I picked all of these quotes because I think they are very meaningful, in some cases funny. Albert Einstein is my favorite person to quote, as he really knows what he's saying and his quotes in my opinion are excellent. The first of my own quotes is one I actually had to make up for school, and it was to be about friends. The second one is one I have used since I was four. When I was sure I wouldn't get something, I'd still say to myself, "There's no point in not trying." and try anyway.
I hope you've found these as interesting as I have.
