Einstein- more than just an academic genius...

Most people know Albert Einstein as the crazy haired scientist who rocked Physics and the world with E=mc2 and the theory of Relativity. But much less appreciated is Einstein the thinker, the philosopher, the philanthropist and the sage. I decided to share some of his quotes, quotes which show that Einstein wasnt just a scientific genius, but he was a man of great wisdom about the human condition....

-"Imagination is more important than knowledge"

-"Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love"

-"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a persistent one"

"A person starts to live when he can live outside himself"

-"Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character"

-"Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing"

-"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new"

-"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler"

-"The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education"

-"Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved through understanding"

-"I'm no genius; I just spend more time solving problems than most people do"

-"Not everything that can be counted counts; and not everything that counts can be counted"

-"A man should look for what is, and not what he thinks should be"

-"All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree"

-"Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves"

-"I have no special talent; I am only passionately curious"

and my personal favorite:

-"imagination is the preview of life's coming attractions"
