Imagination is vastly more important than intelligence.
Albert Einstein
Image
Communities tend to be guided less than individuals by conscience and a sense of responsibility. How much misery does this fact cause mankind! It is the source of wars and every kind of oppression, which fill the earth with pain, sighs and bitterness.
Albert Einstein
Image
The horizon of many people is a circle with a radius of zero. They call this their point of view.
Albert Einstein
Image
He who finds though that lets us penetrate even a little deeper into the eternal mystery of nature has been granted great grace. He who, in addition, experiences the recognition, sympathy, and help of the best minds of his times, had been given almost more happiness than one man can bear.

We are boxed in by the boundary conditions of our thinking

A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin what else does a man need to be happy.
