Quotations

The following are a part of my collection of quotes... My Favourite ones have been highlighted
All the quotes of this post are by ALBERT EINSTEIN

  • The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.

  • People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between the past, the present and the future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.

  • Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.

  • The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.

  • God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically.

  • The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.

  • Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.

  • We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.

  • As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, as far as they are certain; they do not refer to reality.

  • The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.

  • If ‘A’ is success in life. Then ‘A’ equals x plus y plus z. Work is ‘x’, ‘y’ is play, and ‘z’ is keeping your mouth shut.

  • How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love!

  • Most teachers waste their times by asking questions which are intended to discover what a pupil does not know; whereas the true art of questioning has for its purpose to discover what the pupil knows or is capable of knowing.

  • The greatest of scientists are artists as well.

  • Humiliation and mental oppression by ignorant and selfish teachers wreak havoc in the youthful mind that can never be undone and often exerts a baleful influence in later life.

  • Teaching should be such that what is perceived as valuable gift and not as a hard duty.

  • Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is for an eternity.

  • Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.

  • In order to form an immaculate member of a flock of sheep one must, above all, be a sheep.

  • Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The later cannot understand it when man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices – instead, he honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.

  • Not everything that counts can be counted and not everything that can be counted counts.

  5. what is important schooling learning or education

    ReplyDelete
  6. Depends on ur interpretation of schooling learning and education

    if u consider schooling as our schooling age, then yes its important,

    if u consider learning as the things we learn about the mysteries of this world,and about ourselves by engaging in self analysation then yes learning is important

    if u consider education as what our life, incidents and the things that happen around us teach us, then yes education is imp.

    if u hold any other definition of schooling learning and education then i dont feel that either of them are important,,,
    only our ability to see things practically and honestly!
