Here are some general quotes.

 

“Destiny is not a matter of chance. It is a matter of choice.”  - I do not have the source.

 

“Atanasoff started with the long and frequently frustrating process of immersing himself in all aspects of the problem, without making much obvious progress. But when he had absorbed all this information, and his mind had time to work on it, largely unconsciously, the prefect solution became apparent to him while he was engaged in a completely different activity.” - Physics Today, 3/87.

 

What is important that we all realize from this is how the unconscious mind works. This has relevance for taking tests.

 

“It is man's glory to be the only intellectual animal on earth. That imposes upon human beings the moral obligation to lead intellectual lives. The slothful are blind to the glory and neglectful of the obligation.”

- Mortimer J. Adler, Intellect, Mind Over Matter (1991).

 

“In times of great changes, the individual's power and leverage are enormous....We can either become victims of the great changes coming - or we can make them work for us to accomplish extraordinary things.” - -J. Naisbitt, Megatrends (1982).
