Sir Albert Einstein







~ He didn't speak until he was three years old and didn't speak in full sentences until he was nine.
~ His parents thought he might be retarded.
~ He had a learning disability, he was dyslexic.
~ He clashed with authorities and resented the school regimen.
~ He dropped out of school at 15 and failed his first college entrance exam.
~ His legacy was inspired by the movement of a needle on a magnetic compass at the age of five.


Quotes:

~ “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.”
~ “If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.”
~ “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”
~ “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.”
~ “The value of achievement lies in the achieving.”

Cheers ~
