Einsteinovi reki

Na internetu se najde velike zbirke Einsteinovih rekov, tule pa bom nanizal tiste, ki so meni najbolj všeč. V njih vidim veliko modrosti, razberemo pa lahko tudi smisel življenja.

Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.

Tole se mi zdi največji problem sodobnega človeka. Večina bi si to razlagala kot pranje možganov, čeprav je zadeva malce drugačna.

A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.

Ni kaj dodati, kdor razume razume, kdor ne pa ne :)

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.

Če bi se vsaj malo tega držali, bi bil svet veliko bolj rožnat.

A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.

Einstein je tudi o religiji podobno razmišljal kot jaz :)

I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.

Flegma style!

The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.

Logično...

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

Tud že star pregovor.

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

Ljudje, ki se ne zanimajo za naravoslovje vidijo znanost bolj kot znanstveno fantastiko ali nekaj čisto abstraktnega. V resnici pa je točno tako kot pravi Albert.

It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.

I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious

Tole dvoje ne bo popolnoma držalo, pove pa bistvo znanosti.

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

Tako pač je.

You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

Tole pa lepo ilustrira našo "civilizacijo" :/
