The wireless telegraph is not difficult to understand. The ordinary telegraph is like a very long cat. You pull the tail in New York, and it meows in Los Angeles. The wireless is the same, only without the cat.
Albert Einstein

More quotes by Albert Einstein
Blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of truth.
Albert Einstein
The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion.
Albert Einstein
To see with one's own eyes, to feel and judge without succumbing to the suggestive power of the fashion of the day, to be able to express what one has seen and felt in a snappy sentence or even in a cunningly wrought word - is that not glorious? Is it not a proper subject for congregation?
Albert Einstein
Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute.
Albert Einstein
How do I work? I grope.
Albert Einstein
Why do people speak of great men in terms of nationality? Great Germans, great Englishmen? Goethe always protested against being called a German poet. Great men are simply men and are not to be considered from the point of view of nationality, nor should the environment in which they were brought up be taken into account.
Albert Einstein
I have never obtained any ethical values from my scientific work.
Albert Einstein
In the shadow of the atomic bomb it has become even more apparent that all men are, indeed, brothers.
Albert Einstein
A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and his feelings as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of consciousness.
Albert Einstein
The thinking that got us to where we are is not the thinking that will get us to where we want to be.
Albert Einstein
To obtain an assured favorable response from people, it is better to offer them something for their stomachs instead of their brains.
Albert Einstein
God did not create evil. Just as darkness is the absence of light, evil is the absence of God.
Albert Einstein
Degeneracy follows every autocratic system of violence, for violence inevitably attracts moral inferiors. Time has proven that illustrious tyrants are succeeded by scoundrels.
Albert Einstein
Bear in mind that the wonderful things you learn in your schools are the work of many generations. All this is put in your hands as your inheritance in order that you may receive it, honor it, add to it, and one day faithfully hand it on to your children.
Albert Einstein
As a human being, one has been endowed with just enough intelligence to be able to see clearly how utterly inadequate that intelligence is when confronted with what exists.
Albert Einstein
I want to know God's thoughts.
Albert Einstein
Every day, man is making bigger and better fool-proof things, and every day, nature is making bigger and better fools. So far, I think nature is winning.
Albert Einstein
This is too difficult for a mathematician. It takes a philosopher. The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.
Albert Einstein
The important things are always simple.
Albert Einstein
People like you and I, though mortal of course like everyone else, do not grow old no matter how long we live.
Albert Einstein
