"Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character...." - Quote by Albert Einstein

“By an application of the theory of relativity to the taste of readers, today in Germany I am called a German man of science, and in England I am represented as a Swiss Jew. If I come to be represented as a bête noire, the descriptions will be reversed, and I shall become a Swiss Jew for the Germans and a German man of science for the English!”

“To have security against atomic bombs and against the other biological weapons, we have to prevent war, for if we cannot prevent war every nation will use every means that is at their disposal; and in spite of all promises they make, they will do it. At the same time, so long as war is not prevented, all the governments of the nations have to prepare for war, and if you have to prepare for war, then you are in a state where you cannot abolish war.”

“The creative principle [of science] resides in mathematics.”

“We have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for the day. Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. Our attitude is everything.”

“I know no other way to associate with great tasks than as play: as a sign of greatness, this is an essential presupposition.”

“Leadership has less to do with position than it does with disposition.”

“A man shows his character just in the way in which he deals with trifles, for then he is off his guard.”

“An ambassador has no need of spies; his character is always sacred.”

“Integrity means that you are the same in public as you are in private.”
