Sorry if it's been posted already.

""Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature nor do the children of man, as a whole, experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." Helen Keller

So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains and we never even know we have the key...

"Take a walk on the wild side."

[Nords]

These are my favorites:

"What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.” - Bob Dylan
"Life's been good to me so far." - Joe Walsh, philosopher and Eagles guitarist

These started as U.S. Naval Academy wisdom and later transferred to the workplace:
"You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!" - The Eagles, "Hotel California"
"We gotta get out of this place…" - The Animals
"There must be some kind of way out of here…" - Bob Dylan, interpreted by Jimi Hendrix
"You cain't always get what you want…" - The Rolling Stones

Then things got better in ER:
"We'll be takin' care of business…" - Bachman Turner Overdrive
"Aw, that ain't workin'-- that's the way you do it!" - Dire Straits
"This is a thing I've never known before, it's called easy living. This is a place I've never seen before, and I've been forgiven." - Uriah Heep
"I . Wanna rock & roll. All night. And party ev-er-y day." - KISS

And for the perpetual travelers:
"Ya know ya got to… keep on rolling…" - REO Speedwagon
"That's why I'm goin' to Katmandu!" - Bob Seger

That Rush lyric gets heavy rotation in our house.

I wish there was a classic-rock song titled "Hope Is Not A Plan"...

More great Einstein quotes:
