Albert Einstein
(14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955)
Albert Einstein was one of the most recognized and well-known scientists of the last century. His theories solved centuries-old problems in physics and rocked even non-physicists’ view of the world. Today is his birthday, which also happens to be Pi Day.
“The best way to cheer yourself is to cheer somebody else up.”
“Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.”
“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day.”
“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.”
“Genius is 1% talent and 99% percent hard work.”
“Even on the most solemn occasions I got away without wearing socks and hid that lack of civilization in high boots.”
“I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.”
