you might want to listen to Tom Wait's classic ironic Market Place spiel:

"Step Right Up"
There was one house between mine and that of Albert Einstein on Mercer Street in Princeton when I was there.  
Obviously, he was long gone by the time I got there.  But still, he had / has a lot to say that is pretty useful:
E.g.,
Never lose a holy curiosity.
Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.
A man should look for what is, not for what he thinks should be.
Insanity:   doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Anyone who doesn't take the truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in larger ones either.
