Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger generation. For they are us our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life.

The development of general ability for independent thinking and judgment should always be placed foremost, not the acquisition of special knowledge.
Albert Einstein

Don't second guess the mistakes you've made, others will do that for you. Make things as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Albert Einstein

No one must think that Newton’s great creation can be overthrown in any real sense by this [Theory of Relativity] or by any other theory. His clear and wide ideas will for ever retain their significance as the foundation on which our modern conceptions of physics have been built.

The Prussian Academy of Sciences is a fast-track academic institute that requires a proactive, hands-on-type individual to overthrow the Newtonian conception of the universe. The successful candidate will have an excellent command of mass, energy, space, time and some maths. Bonus paid upon completion of proofs

I assert that the cosmic religious experience is the strongest and the noblest driving force behind scientific research.
Albert Einstein

What is inconceivable about the universe is that it is at all conceivable.
Albert Einstein

In quitting this strange world he has once again preceded me by a little. That doesn't mean anything. For those of us who believe in physics, this separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, however tenacious.
Albert Einstein

Whether or not you can observe a thing depends upon the theory you use. It is the theory which decides what can be observed.
Albert Einstein

It is the duty of every citizen according to his best capacities to give validity to his convictions in political affairs.
Albert Einstein

Scientific research can reduce superstition by encouraging people to think and view things in terms of cause and effect.
Albert Einstein

Common sense is that layer of prejudices which we acquire before we are sixteen.
