Einstein’s Wisdom

Albert Einstein was not just a scientist , he was also a humanist who believed in the ideal of spirituality in science and passionately advocated for the application of reason and compassion to curb the dangers of unbridled human ambition.

While the world celebrates the legacy of his scientific ideas, many of his deeply spiritual and humanistic ideas have not found the same space in the narrative of who Einstein was.

As I was browsing through my notebook of Quotes, I came across a some of his thoughts that eloquently capture his perspective of human thinking. Sharing some of them below.
