Albert Einstein
Image
It is our American habit if we find the foundations of our educational structure unsatisfactory to add another story or wing.
Albert Einstein
Image
Everything that exists in your life, does so because of two things: something you did or something you didn't do.
Albert Einstein

I have just got a new theory of eternity.
Albert Einstein

The point is to develop the childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition and to guide the child over to important fields for society. Such a school demands from the teacher that he be a kind of artist in his province.
Albert Einstein

A person starts to live when he can live outside himself.
Albert Einstein
Image
If you feed your mind as often as you feed your stomach, then you'll never have to worry about feeding your stomach or a roof over your head or clothes on your back.
Albert Einstein
Image
We are all life trying to live, among other life trying to live.
