Einstein - Simple & Confused


Can you imagine what Einstein would have done if he had access to Google?
I believe he wouldn’t have used his brain as much as he did without Google!!
Below is the collection of quotes by Einstein, which I collected, form various works based on him. Hope it solves the riddles of life and inspires you. Why I am putting them here is that it makes some points real simple while some confusing and that’s how Einstein was "Simple & Confused".

1 Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.
2 The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.
3 Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
4 In order to form an immaculate member of a flock of sheep one must, above all, be a sheep.
5 A person starts to live when he can live outside himself.
6 know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
7 The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
8 It may affront the military-minded person to suggest a regime that does not maintain any military secrets.
9 Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
10 Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.
11 God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically.
12 Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever.
13 Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
14 As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.
15 My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.
