"I never thought that others would take..." - Quote by Albert Einstein

“The most aggravating thing about the younger generation is that I no longer belong to it.”

“Please explain the problem to me slowly, as I do not understand things quickly.”

“A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy.”

“We are never, never so much in danger of being proud as when we think we are humble.”

“When I was playing before I retired, I never really understood the appreciation and the respect that people gave me. People had treated me like a god or something, and that was very embarrassing.”

“The infinitely little have a pride infinitely great.”

“I have discovered that a screw-shaped device such as this, if it is well made from starched linen, will rise in the air if turned quickly.”

“Astronomy taught us our insignificance in Nature.”

“Every new discovery is assumed at once into the sum total of knowledge, and with that ceases in a sense to be a discovery; it dissolves into the whole and disappears, and one must have a trained scientific eye even to recognize it after that.”
