Albert Einstein
One lives one's life under constant tension, until it's time to go for good

Albert Einstein
Even the scholars in various lands have been acting as if their brains had been amputated.
Albert Einstein
Either CS (coordinate system) could be used with equal justification. The two sentences: the sun is at rest and the earth moves, or the sun moves and the earth is at rest, would simply mean two different conventions concerning two different CS
Albert Einstein
I think we have to safeguard ourselves against people who are a menace to others, quite apart from what may have motivated their deeds.
Albert Einstein
The genius is in making the complex simple.
Albert Einstein
Nature conceals her secrets because she is sublime, not because she is a trickster.
Albert Einstein
A great thought begins by seeing something differently, with a shift of the mind's eye.
Albert Einstein
Creativity is the residue of time wasted.
Albert Einstein
But nature did not deem it her business to make the discovery of her laws easy for us.
Albert Einstein
If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.
Albert Einstein
There's been a quantum leap technologically in our age, but unless there's another quantum leap in human relations, unless we learn to live in a new way towards one another, there will be a catastrophe.
Albert Einstein
