It is better to believe than to disbelieve in doing you bring everything to the realm of possibility.
Albert Einstein
Image
The only way to escape the personal corruption of praise is to go on working. One is tempted to stop and listen to it. The only thing is to turn away and go on working. Work. There is nothing else.
Albert Einstein

I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express in words afterwards.
Albert Einstein
Image
Nature conceals her secrets because she is sublime, not because she is a trickster.
Albert Einstein

What we don't know is much more than what we know.
