Albert Einstein's Best QuotesThe only thing that interferes with my learning is my education. Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe. I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
That does a disservice to my education, though, which was good considering how poor a student I was. I don't feel I was lied to very often, although they did leave out a hell of a lot!
I once was a student. By the time my education was complete, I just wanted to get the hell out of school and work. Not take tests, not regurgitate answers, just...work. So I did that for awhile. Then I changed careers, and suddenly the ability to learn and think for oneself was paramount. To study and understand and build better ideas and concepts, and advance some facet of science. I became a student again. Haven't stopped since then.
I'm quite the fan of a quote attributed to another smart fellow. Interestingly, this quote shows up as an Albert Einstein one as well. Doesn't matter to me which one figured it out I suppose.
