Back to some quotes….

Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist. He developed the general theory of relativity. One of his discoveries was the succinct equation: E=mc2 – Energy equals mass multiplied by the speed of light squared. It was the first time that a scientist related energy to mass, that energy and mass can be related. Einstein’s work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. Certainly, his quotes are comprehensive and humane!

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.” 

“I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” 

“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.” 

“Logic will get you from A to Z; imagination will get you everywhere.” 

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”

“When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That’s relativity.” 

“A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.” 

Albert Einstein
