Albert Einstein
Image
One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community.
Albert Einstein

I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.
Albert Einstein
Image
The rest of my life (as a 39 year old) I want to reflect on what life is.
Albert Einstein
Image
There's been a quantum leap technologically in our age, but unless there's another quantum leap in human relations, unless we learn to live in a new way towards one another, there will be a catastrophe.
Albert Einstein
