BEST WORDS OF WISDOM- ALBERT EINSTEIN

BEST WORDS OF WISDOM- ALBERT EINSTEIN:

"To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself."


"A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it." 

"A perfection of means, and confusion of aims, seems to be our main problem."

"Mankind invented the atomic bomb, but no mouse would ever construct a mousetrap."

"Stay away from negative people. They have a problem for every solution."

"Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it."

"Man usually avoids attributing cleverness to somebody else, unless it is an enemy."

"Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters."

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

"At our age, the devil doesn’t give you much time off!"

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts. (Sign hanging in Einstein’s office at Princeton)"

"All of one’s contemporaries and aging friends are living in a delicate balance, and one feels that one’s own consciousness is no longer as brightly lit as it once was. But then, twilight with its more subdued colors has its charms as well."

"I soon learned to scent out what was able to lead to fundamentals and to turn aside from everything else, from the multitude of things that clutter up the mind."

"It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure."

"No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong."

"A new idea comes suddenly and in a rather intuitive way, but intuition is nothing but the outcome of earlier intellectual experience."

"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."

"The foundation of morality should not be made dependent on myth nor tied to any authority lest doubt about the myth or about the legitimacy of the authority imperil the foundation of sound judgment and action."

"The eternal mystery of the universe is its comprehensibility."

"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."

"Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school."

"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age 18."

"What is right is not always popular and what is popular is not always right."

Muniba Mazari Speech: We all are Perfectly Imperfect

Image
Muniba Mazari is a Pakistani artist, model, activist, motivational speaker, singer, social reformer and television host. She uses a wheelchair due to injuries sustained in a car accident at the age of 21 which makes her Pakistan’s first wheelchair-using model.   We all are Perfectly Imperfect:  “Thank you so much for all the love, for all the warm. Thank you all for accepting me. Thank you very much. Well, I always start my talk with some disclaimer. And that disclaimer is that I never claimed to be a motivational speaker. Yes, I do speak. But I feel like a storyteller. Because where ever I go I share a story with everyone. I believe in the power of words. Many people speak before they think. But I know the value of words. Words can make you, break you, they can heal your soul, they can damage you forever. So, I always try to use positive words in my life. Wherever I go, they call it adversity, I call it opportunity. They call it a weakness, I call it strength. Th...

Selena Gomez Speech: Trust yourself

  Trust yourself “Hi, guys, how are you? So good to see you guys, so you guys having a good night? I have to say that it’s such an honour to be here, it is, I’m so happy to be here, I’m like a nerd and brought my own speech but I hope it’s OK that I take this opportunity to really just spend with you guys and tell you a little bit about my story. I’m not an activist, I haven’t changed the world or led a campaign, I’m here to just tell you my path, so that you hopefully can take something away from it, because I don’t like being honest with — this is a truth — I don’t like being honest with press and interviews, I like being honest with you, directly, which is each and every one of you. Because I feel like I can and I’m just going to start with the basics, so I’m 21 and my mom had, my mom had me when she was 16. And I’m from Grand Prairie, Texas, and she worked four jobs and completely dedicated her life into making mine better. So, to me, she is the definition of a strong wom...
