• The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.
• Strange is our situation here on earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose.

• It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.
• The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about
• It is every man’s obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it.
• There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
• It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely.

A smart guy, that Einstein.
