Einstein: “I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.” “He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.” “A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future.”
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value. Look deep into nature and then you will understand everything better. The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination. Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” “This above all: to thine own self be true.” “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.”
Albert Einstein once wrote: People like us who believe in physics know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion. Time, in other words, he said, is an illusion.
In the Special Theory of Relativity, Einstein determined that time is relative—in other words, the rate at which time passes depends on your frame of reference.
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
As Stephen Jay Gould wrote in The Panda's Thumb: "I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops".
“Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.”
On Education: ''The wit was not wrong who defined education in this way: 'Education is that which remains, if one has forgotten everything he learned in school. '' [quoted in Albert Einstein, Ideas and Opinions, p. 63].
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.
Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness.
"The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward." — Steve Maraboli. "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude."
