Albert Einstein

We can not solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.

Albert Einstein

I am absolutely convinced that no wealth in the world can help humanity forward, even in the hands of the most devoted worker. The example of great and pure individuals is the only thing that can lead us to noble thoughts and deeds. Money only appeals to selfishness and always tempts its owners irresistibly to abuse it. Can anyone imagine Moses, Jesus, or Gandhi armed with the money-bags of Carnegie?

Albert Einstein

Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein

Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.

Albert Einstein

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
