Albert Einstein: Book Of Quotes...

Quotes Station

ALBERT EINSTEIN: BOOK OF QUOTES-ALBERT EINSTEIN: BOOK OF QUOTES Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist, widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest physicists of all time. Einstein is known for developing the theory of relativity, but he also made important contributions to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics. Relativity and quantum mechanics are together the two pillars of modern physics. His mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which arises from relativity theory, has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation". His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect", a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory. His intellectual achievements and originality resulted in "Einstein" becoming synonymous with "genius".-QUOTES SAMPLES“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”—“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.”—“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”—“Try not to become a man of success. Rather become a man of value.”—“Never memorize something that you can look up.”—“Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.”—“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.”

Midstream: My Later Life

Helen Keller

Helen Keller’s name is forever linked with courage, perseverance, and the power of education. In Midstream: My Later Life, she picks up where The Story of My Life left off, offering a rare and intimate look at her journey beyond her early triumphs. 
Here, Keller recounts the challenges and victories of adulthood—her advocacy for people with disabilities, her international travels, her friendships with world leaders and artists, and her tireless fight for social change. She writes candidly about setbacks, loneliness, and the weight of public life, but also about the deep sense of purpose that guided her. 
Far more than a continuation of her first memoir, Midstream reveals Keller as an outspoken activist and global citizen. Her story is one of resilience and vision, an extraordinary life dedicated not only to overcoming personal barriers, but to dismantling the world’s. 
This inspiring autobiography is a testament to the strength of the human spirit, and a reminder that true greatness lies not in what we achieve for ourselves, but in what we give to others.
