Famous quotes containing the words emperor and/or isaac:

    The greater the privilege, the more hidden the arrogance. The Emperor of China need not exist.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    My mother made me a scientist without ever intending to. Every other Jewish mother in Brooklyn would ask her child after school: So? Did you learn anything today? But not my mother. “Izzy,” she would say, “did you ask a good question today?” That difference—asking good questions—made me become a scientist.
    —Isidor Isaac Rabi (20th century)
