I don't usually like one-liners but these made me laugh. Thanks OldMeg.

Einstein quotes: (OK not particularly funny!)

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits

Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity and I am not sure about the universe

When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second, when you sit on a red hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity

and my favourite

Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree it will live its whole life believing it is stupid

Always good to have something to lighten the greyness. I thought 33 was especially appropriate since I’ve just popped to the supermarket with the wrong list!
