One of Tom's favorite quotes is:"“A society's competitive advantage will come not from how well its schools teach the multiplication and periodic tables, but from how well they stimulate imagination and creativity.” ― Albert Einstein “Three great forces rule the world: stupidity, fear and greed.” ― Albert Einstein “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.” ― Albert Einstein “Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect, as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.” ― Albert Einstein “Excellence is doing a common thing in an uncommon way.” ― Albert Einstein “The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.” ― Albert Einstein “If I could do it all again, I'd be a plumber.” ― Albert Einstein “I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws, but only dimly understand these laws. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations.” ― Albert Einstein “Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as hard duty. Never regard study as duty but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.” ― Albert Einstein “I love Humanity but I hate humans” ― Albert Einstein “Information is not knowledge.” ― Albert Einstein “I don't try to imagine a personal God; it suffices to stand in awe at the structure of the world, insofar as it allows our inadequate senses to appreciate it.” ― Albert Einstein “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.” ― Albert Einstein “The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.” ― Albert Einstein “If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare me a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German, and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.” ― Albert Einstein “The only escape from the miseries of life are music and cats...” ― Albert Einstein “Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social enviroment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.” ― Albert Einstein “Common sense is what tells us the earth is flat.” ― Albert Einstein “It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.” ― Albert Einstein “Somebody who only reads newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who scorns eyeglasses. He is completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of his times, since he never gets to see or hear anything else.” ― Albert Einstein “Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population.” ― Albert Einstein “Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.” ― Albert Einstein “From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that we are here for the sake of each other - above all for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends, and also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy.
