"For who would live if life held no allurements?"

--

Lewis Howard Latimer

“For joy, I live by the mantra of surrounding yourself with people who make your life better... people who enhance your life and motivate you to be the best version of yourself. It's not always easy, but I've had to make a conscious effort to remove people who are a lot of work and drain my energy...you know, those energy suckers we each have in our lives.”
“The most we can get out of life is its discipline for ourselves, and its usefulness for others.”
“Thinking in its lower grades, is comparable to paper money, and in its higher forms it is a kind of poetry.”
“[George] Uhlenbeck was a highly gifted physicist. One of his remarkable traits was he would read every issue of T%he Physical Review from cover to cover.”
“No man can become perfect until he knows his true nature. And the person who knows his or her true nature cannot be an imperfect.”
“I have heard many arguments which influenced my opinion, but never one which influenced my vote.”
“If you feel uncomfortable on stage, you can very easily descend into a sort of abyss, convinced you're the worst actor ever, that you're a disgrace to the profession, that you're a disgrace to yourself. It's an awful feeling.”
