Quotations from Albert Einstein

You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.

Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts. (Sign reported in his office.)

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds.

Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.
