ARE YOU MORE INTELLIGENT THAN EINSTEIN? [+] serious ballot by contragrain ACTIVE Tue Sep 04, 07 - Wed Sep 03, 08 The following are selected quotes from Albert Einstein, commonly held to be one of the most intelligent men who ever lived. Read the quotes before answering: Are you more intelligent than Einstein? "I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details." "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." "A person starts to live when he can live outside himself." "I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice." "God is subtle but he is not malicious." "Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing." "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." "Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it." "God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically." "Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods." "My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind." "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence." "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." "A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death." "The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge." "He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice." "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts."
