Daily quote |
Albert EinsteinToo many of us look upon Americans as dollar chasers. This is a cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans themselves. Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist. True religion is real living; living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness. We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings. We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive. We shall therefore assume the complete physical equivalence of a gravitational field and a corresponding acceleration of the reference system. We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality. |
