There are lots i like, so i can't decide for one only.
But i've just now invented this:
"The
only serious problem found for the A.I. developing is the will.
And the same for the N.I. (Natural Intelligence)." (me)

Yeah!

Albert was really cool. I'll guess he had been on this forum if he had been alive today.

Some more quotes I personally like:
>> “Learn the rules so you can break them."
- Dalai Lama
>> "To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong."
-Joseph Chilton Pearce
>> "Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else.
No idea is too crazy."
-Jim Hightower, The New York Times, March 9, 1986
>> ""Everything you can imagine is real."
-Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973)
>> "We have too many high sounding words,
and too few actions that correspond with them."
-Abigail Adams (1744 - 1818), letter to John Adams, 1774

Of course, not agree with some of them, for example:
benny wrote:>> ""Everything you can imagine is real."
-Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973)
Is human, too much human, so then, metaphysical, too much metaphysical, so then presumably deceit, too much deceit.
Picasso was a fraud man without own essence (same as lot of people from Spain) that's why he wrote that.

Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die, but long after we are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistence. Remember that our sons and our grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us. Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty.

@the existentivists out there
The following list is my sum-up of an article from Brian Tracy. I use this for daily general evaluation and I deem it quite useful; the conceptual contents being plastic, interlinked and diffuse, the following is not carved in stone, but a perspective I lay for the occasion.
Method - Remember to follow all the following
Consciousness - Know what you want
Direction - R. where you are to go
Responsibility - R. you are you product
Passion - Enjoy what you do
Competence - Improve your perks
Dedication - Iterate doing some extra
Flexibility - Balance with ecleptism
Efficiency - Calculate the best steps
Excellency - R. anything under is efficiency loss
Quality - Polish until satisfaction
Onesty - Evaluate in ataraxy
Realisation - Maintain result orientedness
Presence - Maximise time thickness
Longsightedness - Calculate effects on longest terms
Strenght - Stay within willpower
Freshness - Improve paths with new solutions
Protection - Use sinergy
Power - Maintain faculties' health
Agility - Iterate decision and prompt action
Resistance - Learn from experience
Persistence - R. path following is self reinforcing
Certainty - Success is predictable
A similar function is in the good old 'If' from Kipling.

When I die, I want to be wrapped in the Belgian flag. Of course this is nonsense. But also dying is.
