The majority of the stupid is invincible and guaranteed for all time. The terror of their tyranny, however, is alleviated by their lack of consistency.
Albert Einstein
Image
Applying the axioms of physical science to human life has something reprehensible to it.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am not more gifted than anybody else. I am just more curious than the average person and I will not give up a problem until I have found the proper solution.
Albert Einstein
Image
The formulation of the problem is often more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill.
Albert Einstein
Image
Nothing causes more consternation in a group of hypocrits than one honest man.
Albert Einstein
Image
The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything except our thinking. Thus, we are drifting toward catastrophe beyond conception. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.
Albert Einstein

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.
