Einstein Wisdom...
Knowledge:
The Search for the truth and Knowledge is
one of the finest attributes of a man,
though often it is most loudly voiced by
those who strive for it the least.
Authority:
To punish me for my contempt of authority,
fate has made me an authority myself.
Truth:
It is difficult to say what truth is,
but sometimes it is easy to recognize a falsehood.
Cooperation:
A hundred times a day I remind myself that
my inner and outer lives are based
on the labors of other people,
living and dead and that
I must exert myself in order to give
in the same measure as
I have received and am still receiving.
Wisdom:
Wisdom is not a product of schooling,
but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.
Greatness:
There is only one road to human greatness:
through the school of hard knocks.
Happiness:
A happy man is too satisfied with the present
to dwell too much on the future.
Fame:
With fame I become more and more stupid,
which of course is a very common phenomenon.
Life:
Life is sacred, that is to say,
it is the supreme value,
to which all other values are subordinate.
Ageing:
I have reached an age when,
if someone tells me to wear socks,
I don't have to.
Praise:
The only way to escape the personal
corruption of praise is to go on working.
Problems:
Fear or stupidity has always been
the basis of most human actions.
Relativity:
An hour sitting with a pretty girl on a park bench
passes like a minute,
but a minute sitting on a hot stove seems like an hour.
Goals:
One should not pursue goals that are easily achieved.
One must develop an instinct for what
one can barely achieve through one's greatest efforts.
Racism:
The only remedies against race and prejudice
are enlightenment and education.
This is a slow and painstaking process.
Solitude:
I lived in that solitude which is painful in youth,
but delicious in the years of maturity.
Value:
Try not to become a man of success but
rather try to become a man of value.
Imagination:
When I examine myself and my methods of thought,
I come close to the conclusion that the gift of imagination
has meant more to me than my talent for
absorbing absolute knowledge.
