Great Thoughts By - Great Albert Enstein

  • "Do not worry too much about your difficulties in mathematics, I can assure you that mine are still greater."
  • "Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas."
  • "Not everything that counts can be counted. Not everything that can be counted counts."
  • "A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be."
  • "So far as the theories of mathematics are about reality, they are not certain; so far as they are certain, they are not about reality."
  • "Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them."
  • "Since the mathematicians have invaded the theory of relativity, I do not understand it myself any more."
  • "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
