Two thoughts

A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.
~Albert Einstein

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.

I was sooo going to use that one, Yabu!

This one's just as good, though:

Einstein was a remarkable fellow, one whom I admire.

He once said "I have no particular talent. I am merely inquisitive." and that "It's not that I'm so smart , it's just that I stay with problems longer ."

He also said "If I had my life to live over again, I'd be a plumber."

Theres alot to be said for leading a less complex life.

Wizard~ I'm not sure that being a plumber would be all that much less complex. Have you ever done plumbing? You should here some of my disaster stories! Oy.

That said, however, I would *love* to have Einstein for my plumber!

Did I actually write "here" instead of "hear"??? Oops!

For me, Einsteins genius was in his ability to identify the simplicity in life..

"When I was young, I found out that the big toe always ends up making a hole in a sock. So I stopped wearing socks."

Goes back to Wizards comment about living a less complex life!

I especially liked the second quote. Anytime working with the general public will teach you that!

Anyway, just stopped by to say hello, stranger! I promise to visit more often...just been busy is all.

I post quotes all the time and all I get is crickets chirping.

You post two quotes and get comments galore.

I should hang it up...
