ALBERT EINSTEIN
QUOTABLE QUOTES
THAT CAN STAND THE TEST OF PROOF
ALONG WITH HIS THEORY OF RELATIVITY
The most illustrious Genius of science is undoubtedly Albert Einstein. His Theory of Relativity is a piece of beauty, as much as, it is a great discovery. Einstein is also considered as a versatile man of varied interests. His thoughts on matters of life, politics, governance, religion and love (etc) are of great interest to all of us. You can easily see that these words come from the depths of his heart – and not just from his intellect.
Einstein was – a mathematician, a physicist, an explorer, a humanist and, however much he denies, a deep spiritualist.
Here are a few of his Gems :
Ø A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?
Ø An empty stomach is not a good political adviser.
Ø Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
Ø Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.
Ø Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.
Ø Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.
Ø Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
Ø Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.
Ø Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
Ø I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.
Ø I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
Ø I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.
Ø If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
Ø Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.
Ø Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.
Ø Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Ø Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.
Ø Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them.
Ø It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.
Ø It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely.
Ø Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.
Ø Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized.
Ø Love is a better teacher than duty.
Ø Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.
Ø Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced.
Ø Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.
Ø No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.
Ø Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.
Ø Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
Ø Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
Ø The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.
Ø Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.
Ø The high destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule.
Ø The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
Ø The only real valuable thing is intuition.
Ø The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.
Ø The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
Ø There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.
Ø 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.
Ø Do you believe in immortality? No, and one life is enough for me.
Ø Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
Ø No, this trick won't work...How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?
Ø God always takes the simplest way.
Ø Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.
Ø I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.
