Never lose a holy curiosity. Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value. He is considered successful in our day who gets more out of life than he puts in. But a man of value will give more than he receives.
Interpretation
Value lies in being curious and generous rather than just successful.
This quote by Albert Einstein emphasizes the importance of maintaining curiosity and focusing on personal values rather than solely pursuing success. While society often defines success by material gains or achievements, Einstein suggests that true fulfillment comes from contributing positively to the world and nurturing one's innate curiosity. A man of value strives to offer more to the world than he takes, enriching both his own life and the lives of others.

God never witholds from His child that which His love and wisdom call good. God's refusals are always merciful -- "severe mercies" at times but mercies all the same. God never denies us our hearts desire except to give us something better.
The more observing ones may have seen, but discerning people are usually discreet and often kind, for we usually bleed a little before we begin to discern.
