Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people. (Albert Einstein)

In the temple of science are many mansions, and various indeed are they that dwell therein and the motives that have led them hither. Many take to science out of a joyful sense of superior intellectual power science is their own special sport to which they look for vivid experience and the satisfaction of ambition many others are to be found in the temple who have offered the products of their brains on this altar for purely utilitarian purposes. Were an angel of the Lord to come and drive all the people belonging to these two categories out of the temple, the assemblage would be seriously depleted, but there would still be some men, of both present and past times, left inside. (Albert Einstein)

In a healthy nation there is a kind of dramatic balance between the will of the people and the government, which prevents its degeneration into tyranny. (Albert Einstein)
A photograph never grows old. You and I change, people change all through the months and years, but a photograph always remains the same. How nice to look at a photograph of mother or father taken many years ago. You see them as you remember them. But as people live on, they change completely. That is why I think a photograph can be kind. (Albert Einstein)
Small is the number of people who see with their eyes and think with their minds. (Albert Einstein)
