Everyone would agree that Albert Einstein was the greatest physicist of all time. Einstein won the Nobel Prize for explaining the photoelectric effect thereby paving a way for quantum mechanics to bloom, but he is most well know for equation E = m c^2.
More than that, Einstein developed a new theory of universal gravitation, an improvement over Newton's version, in which Einstein imagined a curving space and time resulting in a force we call gravity. Einstein spent his last years to find the ultimate theory of the universe.
Today, Albert Einstein is remembered not only as a great scientist, but also as a wise man, who inspired students with his witty remarks. Einstein was featured in the movie Oppenheimer, giving advice to physicist Robert Oppenheimer.
Following are ten quotes by Einstein to help students succeed in academics and in life:
1. Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
2. Never memorize something that you can look up.
3. Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
4. Logic will get you from A to Z; imagination will get you everywhere.
5. The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
6. I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious. The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence.
7. The measure of intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.
8. What is right is not always popular and what is popular is not always right.
9. Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
10. I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.
