Albert Einstein says: 
141-    “If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.”

142-    “The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which he has attained liberation from the self.”

143-    “Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.”

144-    “Small is the number of them that see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.”

145-    “My pacifism is an instinctive feeling, a feeling that possesses me because the murder of men is disgusting. My attitude is not derived from any intellectual theory but is based on my deepest antipathy to every kind of cruelty and hatred.”

146-    “It is harder to crack prejudice than an atom.”

147-    “Everyone must become their own person, however frightful that may be. ”

148-    “Older men start wars, but younger men fight them. ”

149-    “If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shoddy philosophies.... It would be a sad situation if the wrapper were better than the meat wrapped inside it.”

150-    “We experience ourselves our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.”

151-    “The man with the greatest soul will always face the greatest war with the low minded person.”

152-    “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.”

153-    “Strange is our situation here on Earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men - above all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.”

154-    “In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep, one must above all, be a sheep.”

155-    “The devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life. Either we suffer in health or we suffer in soul or we get fat.”
156-    “I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.”

157-    “Adversity introduces a man to himself.”

158-    “The person who reads too much and uses his brain too little will fall into lazy habits of thinking..”

159-    “Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.”

160-    “There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there.”
