Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein; 14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist. He developed the general theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics.:274 Einstein's work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. Einstein is best known in popular culture for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his "services to theoretical physics", in particular his discovery of the law of the photoelectric...

Why does this applied science, which saves work and makes life easier, bring us so little happiness? The simple answer runs: Because we have not yet learned to make sensible use of it.
Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.
To the extent math refers to reality, we are not certain; to the extent we are certain, math does not refer to reality.
The real problem is in the hearts and minds of men. It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man.
To make a goal of comfort or happiness has never appealed to me; a system of ethics built on this basis would be sufficient only for a herd of cattle

If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Thus the partial differential equation entered theoretical physics as a handmaid, but has gradually become mistress.
