Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the general theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics). While best known for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation"), he received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect".The latter was pivotal in establishing quantum theory.
Einstein published more than 300 scientific papers along with over 150 non-scientific works. Here are some of his best known quotes ! Cheers
"The important thing is not to stop questioning; curiosity has its own reason for existing."
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."
"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
"The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education."
"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."
"Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them."
"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits."
"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity."
"You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother."
I am almost positive he did not say these exact words for any of this
