The measure of intelligence is the ability to change - priceless quotes from Albert Einstein

He only spoke when he was almost four years old – slowly and with such uncertainty that his parents are convinced he is retarded. Years later, his extraordinary intelligence and originality made his name synonymous with genius.

On March 14, 1879, one of the most brilliant minds of the human race was born - Albert Einstein.

We have selected priceless quotes from Albert Einstein

Here are the fanatical atheists, whose intolerance is of the same kind like the intolerance of religious fanatics, and proceeds from the same source.

Each of us appears here not of our own volition and without asking for a short stay, without knowing why and for what, in everyday life we only feel that a person is here because of others, because of those he loves and many others , related human beings.
