"A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success"

Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)  Einstein wrote these words while on a lecture tour in Japan in 1922 just as he learned of his Nobel Prize in physics. Reportedly, he didn't have money to tip a bellboy or receiving a tip was not customary. So Einstein gave the bellboy the note instead. Someone paid over $1.5 million for the piece of paper in 2017
