The note largely exceeded the estimated pre-auction price, which was placed between $5,000 and $8,000. The $1.56 million price included the buyer’s fee, the auction site stated.

The Nobel-winning scientist wrote the note while he was in Tokyo, just after he was told he would be awarded a Nobel Prize in physics, Winner’s Auctions and Exhibitions said.

A bellboy arrived at his room to deliver an item and Einstein didn't have cash to tip him. Instead, the scientist handed him a piece of paper with a message.

"A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness," the note reads in German.

A second note was handed to the same bellboy, which reads, “Where there’s a will there’s a way.” That note also sold in the auction for $240,000, Wiener said.

Reminds me of what my teacher said many many years ago.

“Wealth will not buy happiness!
But it makes suffering so much easier!”

Ob boy I can relate to where there’s a will there is a way.

So the bellboy got the largest tip ever received. Now that is nice.

Yes write it down. Then all you have to do then is come up with a theory that is as impressive as the theory of relativity, and win a noble peace prize. 8>)

You can do it. Remember: When there's a will there is a way. 8>)

Of course if that will is from a rich uncle, that is the easier way. 8>)

That's an invention & one that most likely would bring Peta down on you and anyone that supported your invention. While they may think you deserve a Noble Peace Prize, they will buckle under politically correct pressure and award someone else. You really need to think in terms of just a theory. Preferably one that is politically correct. 8>)

However, when you get ready to market that product notify me. Lots of bugs down here in Lousyana. Heck I even want the marketing rights for this area. I should make both of us tons of money. 8>)

Where there’s a will, there’s usually relatives fighting over money.
