One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don’t throw it away.
We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.
Quiet people have the loudest minds
Life would be tragic if it weren’t funny.
Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe? The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk and we learned to listen. Speech has allowed the communication of ideas, enabling human beings to work together to build the impossible. Mankind’s greatest achievements have come about by talking, and its greatest failures by not talking. It doesn’t have to be like this. Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future. With the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking.
It surprises me how disinterested we are today about things like physics, space, the universe and philosophy of our existence, our purpose, our final destination. Its a crazy world out there. Be curious.
My expectations were reduced to zero when I was 21. Everything since then has been a bonus.”
Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.
It matters that you don’t just give up.
The victim should have the right to end his life, if he wants. But I think it would be a great mistake. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there’s life, there is hope.
I believe the simplest explanation is, there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization that there probably is no heaven and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe and for that, I am extremely grateful.
In the Universe it may be that] Primitive life is very common and intelligent life is fairly rare. Some would say it has yet to occur on Earth.
I think computer viruses should count as life … I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We’ve created life in our own image.
One of the basic rules of the universe is that nothing is perfect. Perfection simply doesn’t exist…..Without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist
The universe doesn’t allow perfection.
My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.
There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority, and science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win because it works.
Although I cannot move and I have to speak through a computer, in my mind I am free
If time travel is possible, where are the tourists from the future?

“What I have learned from life is to make the most of what you have got.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“The human race is just a chemical scum on a moderate-sized planet, orbiting around a very average star in the outer suburb of one among a hundred billion galaxies. We are so insignificant that I can’t believe the whole universe exists for our benefit. That would be like saying that you would disappear if I closed my eyes.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“The wise never marry, and when they marry they become otherwise.” ~ Stephen Hawking

“Look up at the stars, not down at your feet.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“So when people ask me if I believe God created the universe, I tell them that the question itself makes no sense. Time didn’t exist before the Big Bang, so there is no time for God to make the universe in. It’s like asking for directions to the edge of the earth; the earth is a sphere, it doesn’t have an edge, so looking for it is a futile exercise.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“People won’t have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“What was God doing before the divine creation? Was he preparing hell for people who asked such questions?” ~ Stephen Hawking

“I believe things cannot make themselves impossible.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“Nothing is fool-proof to a sufficiently talented fool.” ~ Stephen Hawking

“While there’s life, there is hope.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“Success is a relative term. It brings so many relatives.” ~ Stephen Hawking

“The universe doesn’t allow perfection.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“The laws of science do not distinguish between the past and the future.” ~ Stephen Hawking

“The fact that no one understands you doesn’t mean you’re an artist.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“If time travel is possible, where are the tourists from the future?” ~ Stephen Hawking
“We are in danger of destroying ourselves by our greed and stupidity. We cannot remain looking inwards at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“Latest survey shows that 3 out of 4 people make up 75% of the world’s population.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“Although I cannot move, and I have to speak through a computer, in my mind, I am free.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“It is reasonable to ask who or what created the universe, but if the answer is God, then the question has merely been deflected to that of who created God.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“When I hear of Schrödinger’s cat, I reach for my pistol.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“Mankind’s greatest achievements have come about by talking and its greatest failures by not talking. It doesn’t have to be like this.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“One can see from space how the human race has changed the Earth. Nearly all of the available land has been cleared of forest and is now used for agriculture or urban development. The polar icecaps are shrinking and the desert areas are increasing. At night, the Earth is no longer dark, but large areas are lit up. All of this is evidence that human exploitation of the planet is reaching a critical limit. But human demands and expectations are ever-increasing. We cannot continue to pollute the atmosphere, poison the ocean and exhaust the land. There isn’t any more available.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“I am just a child who has never grown up. I still keep asking these ‘how’ and ‘why’ questions. Occasionally, I find an answer.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“Every man should marry. After all, happiness is not the only thing in life.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“I think the human race doesn’t have a future if we don’t go into space. We need to expand our horizons beyond planet Earth if we are to have a long-term future. We cannot remain looking inward at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet. We need to look outward to the wider universe.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“So long as the Universe had a beginning, we could suppose it had a creator. But if the Universe is really completely self-contained, it would have neither beginning or end, it would simply be. What place then for a creator?” ~ Stephen Hawking
“Ever since the dawn of civilization, people have not been content to see events as unconnected and inexplicable. They have craved an understanding of the underlying order in the world. Today we still yearn to know why we are here and where we came from. Humanity’s deepest desire for knowledge is justification enough for our continuing quest. And our goal is nothing less than a complete description of the universe we live in.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“The idea that we are alone in the universe seems to me completely implausible and arrogant, considering the number of planets and stars that we know exist, it’s extremely unlikely that we are the only form of evolved life.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“Science can explain the universe without the need for a Creator.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“In the last 200 years the population of our planet has grown exponentially, at a rate of 1.9% per year. If it continued at this rate, with the population doubling every 40 years, by 2600 we would all be standing literally shoulder to shoulder.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“The human failing I would most like to correct is aggression. It may have had survival advantage in caveman days, to get more food, territory or a partner with whom to reproduce, but now it threatens to destroy us all.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“I may contradict myself, but at least I don’t contradict myself.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“Theology is unnecessary.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes, it was 29 years.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“One of the basic rules of the universe is that nothing is perfect. Perfection simply doesn’t exist…..Without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist” ~ Stephen Hawking
“Scientific discovery may not be better than sex, but the satisfaction lasts longer.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“You may see a cup of tea fall off a table and break into pieces on the floor… But you will never see the cup gather itself back together and jump back on the table. The increase of disorder, or entropy, is what distinguishes the past from the future, giving a direction to time.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn’t prevent you doing well, and don’t regret the things it interferes with. Don’t be disabled in spirit, as well as physically.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“I think the universe was spontaneously created out of nothing, according to the laws of science. It has no beginning and no end.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“I’m not afraid of death, but I’m in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“If we can avoid disaster for the next two centuries, our species should be safe as we spread into space. If we are the only intellegent beings in the galaxy we should make sure we survive and continue. . . . Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain inward looking on planet Earth but to spread out into space. We have made remarkable progress in the last hundred years. But if we want to continue beyond the next hundred years, our future is in space.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“I have experimental evidence that time travel is not possible.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“Nothing cannot exist forever.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“I’d say I don’t believe in God, but I’m afraid He might hear me.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“What I meant by ‘we would know the mind of God’ is, we would know everything that God would know, if there were a God. Which there isn’t. I’m an atheist.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“Maybe I’m being a bit harsh on philosophers, but they have not been very kind to me… I have been variously called nominalist, an instrumentalist, a positivist, a realist, and several other ists. The technique seems refutation by denigration: If you can attach a label to my approach, you don’t have to say what is wrong with it… I am sure that Einstein, Heisenberg and Dirac didn’t worry about whether they were realists or instrumentalists.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk and we learned to listen.” ~ Stephen Hawking
Top 100 albert Einstein motivational and inspirational quotes
“I have lived with the prospect of an early death for the last 49 years. I’m not afraid of death, but I’m in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first. I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“The world has changed far more in the past 100 years than in any other century in history. The reason is not political or economic but technological-technologies that flowed directly from advances in basic science. Clearly, no scientist better represents those advances than Albert Einstein: TIME’s Person of the Century.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“Love the neighbor. But don’t get caught.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“The meaning in life is not out there but inbetween our ears. In many ways this makes us the lords of creation.” ~ Stephen Hawking
“It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us.” ~ Stephen Hawking
