"The individual must not merely wait and criticize, he must defend the cause as best he can. The fate of the world will be such as the world deserves."
-Albert Einstein
For each of us there is a choice: to lie down, give up, and accept our powerlessness to the unstoppable tide of human history. Or to stand up, brace against the tide, and alter its course – even if only by the smallest margin. The collective course of events is determined by individual effort – or the lack thereof.
In the end, we will reap what we sow.
“If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough”
- Albert Einstein
Keep it simple, and you will rule the world.
"Nature conceals her secrets because she is sublime, not because she is a trickster."
-Albert Einstein
Nature doesn't need our understanding, as much as it needs our respect.
"When you are courting a nice girl and hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity."
- Albert Einstein
It's relatively simple. Time contracts when you're holding the hand of a pretty girl.
"If A equals success, then the formula is: A=X+Y+Z, X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut."
-Albert Einstein
Work hard, have fun, and remember it's usually best to listen instead of talk.
"Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character"
-Albert Einstein
An occasional bad attitude is human nature. Making a habit of it is becomes a character trait. The decision is yours. And mine.
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
- Albert Einstein
Even the faintest and furthest star, resting at the very edge of the universe, implies a boundary. What knows no bounds is the depth to which the folly of Man can reach.
"What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world."
-Albert Einstein
Could God have just sat quietly "unto himself," or is part of the job of being God creating the world, and the humans that inhabit it?
"The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once."
-Albert Einstein
Multi-tasking is an illusion. The time/space continuum demands of us that we only do one thing at a time.
We have to do the best we can. This is our sacred human responsibility.
-Albert Einstein
At the end of the day, as we give our last bit of awakened consciousness to sleep, we have only to answer ourselves one question: "Did I do the best I could today?"
