If you can't explain what you are doing to a nine-year-old, then either you still don't understand it very well, or it's not all that worthwile in the first place.

More quotes by Albert Einstein
(Reply on what constitutes scientific proof:)The question is much too difficult for me.
Albert Einstein
I live my daydreams in music.
Albert Einstein
We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.
Albert Einstein
The greatest knowledge a person can possess is the address of the local library.
Albert Einstein
Earnestly I must exert myself in order to return as much as I have received.
Albert Einstein
What is essential in the life of a man of my kind is what he thinks and how he thinks, and not what he does or suffers.
Albert Einstein
I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.
Albert Einstein
In the matter of physics, the first lessons should contain nothing but what is experimental and interesting to see. A pretty experiment is in itself often more valuable than twenty formulae extracted from our minds.
Albert Einstein
What counts can't always be counted what can be counted doesn't always count.
Albert Einstein
One can only continue to expect to be read if one omits everything that is unimportant.
Albert Einstein
In music I do not look for logic. I am quite intuitive on the whole and know no theories. I never like a work if I cannot intuitively grasp its inner unity (architecture).
Albert Einstein
Here's a Challenge: Study a complicated topic in such detail that anyone interested can nod their head and understand as you explain specific concepts within the topic.
Albert Einstein
You can't blame gravity for falling in love.
Albert Einstein
Don't listen to the person who has the answers listen to the person who has the questions.
Albert Einstein
From the viewpoint of a Jesuit priest I am, of course, and have always been an atheist.
Albert Einstein
Non-comprehenders are often distressed. Not you, though-because with good humor you're blessed. After all, your thoughts went like this, I dare say: It was none but the Lord who made us that way.
Albert Einstein
The aim of science is, on the one hand, as complete a comprehension as possible of the connection between perceptible experiences in their totality, and, on the other hand, the achievement of this aim by employing a minimum of primary concepts and relations.
Albert Einstein
Life is a Mystery, not a problem waiting to be solved.
Albert Einstein
In matters of trust and justice there can be no distinction between big problems and small, for the general principles which determine the conduct of men are indivisible. Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted in important affairs.
Albert Einstein
Any power must be an enemy of mankind which enslaves the individual by power and by force, whether it arises under the Fascist or the Communist flag. All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded to the individual.
Albert Einstein
