I blogged about this the other day. Apologies if it's a bit cerebral for GC but here are some wise words from the father of modern day theoretical physics, Albert Einstein: * 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. * We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us. * Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe. * The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive. * The only source of knowledge is experience. * The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible. * The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead. * Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. * A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new. * Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction. * Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish. * I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious. * Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it. * I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right. * Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. * A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future. * Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school. And finally, * Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it. Ain't that the truth?!
