Imagination
The biggest treasure of a human being is his "power of imagination". Instead
of utilizing it for making a discovery or melody or exploring the avenues of
business...we waste it on imaginary worries and finding fictitious Gods to resolve
it.

Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought.
