10 Great Einstein Quotes

The Man Who Actually Deserved The Title:  GENIUS

The word has been bandied about and often cheapened when used to describe merely clever individuals or those who shine in just their chosen category. But Albert Einstein changed the way science, and specifically physics, works and is thought of, as well as moving the peace and anti-nuclear movements forward, inspiring and teaching hundreds of scientists who continue to make major and sometimes world-changing contributions to all of us, and still finding the time to produce many wise comments on every imaginable subject.

I immersed myself in the story of this greatest thinker of the 20th Century in preparation for my recent Moneylove Club audio selection inspired by and using 71 of his quotes, some not widely known. Some I had never seen before and I’ve chosen ten of my favorites from that category, and suggest that any one of them, if you plunge deeply enough into its core and deepest meaning, can have a profound impact on your imagination, your view of the way things are, and even your prosperity consciousness.

I wrote another post you might want to check out on my personal blog, also inspired by Einstein.

Though often humbly declaring he was just an ordinary man who never gave up until he found a solution, scientists discovered after his death in 1955 that Albert Einstein was indeed different–his brain was larger than normal and had some features not found in ordinary human brains.
