"The Princeton campus was quiet and beautiful in the falling snow, and the carol singers in the distance added a touch to the Christmas Eve scene. I was walking my dog when I met the carolers going into the garden entrance of Dr. Albert Einstein's home. One of the little boys started to sing "Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still I see thee lie," and the others took it up. The front door suddenly opened and Dr. Einstein stood there for a moment. Then he turned back into the house and re-appeared with his violin. Without a word he started to play with the singers - each verse through the hymn ... and then, without a word to break the spell, the young people turned away silently, and Dr. Einstein slowly closed the door on the snowy scene. It was a Christmas to remember." -Evelyn Woods Ulyat

1 Accept the fact that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue!

2 Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them

3 Always read books that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it

4 Drive carefully - it's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker
