When I feel that my enthusiasm on work or on the thing that I’m doing is falling, I always fire up google and search for a quote that will motivate me. Somehow, these words of wisdom rejuvenate my will and increase my morale to continue working and set aside the doubts, complaints and disappointments that I encounter along the way. Here are some quotes I selected from the collection of Kevin Harris‘s Albert Einstein quotes.
- Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction.
- Imagination is more important than knowledge.
- Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.

- Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
- The only real valuable thing is intuition.
- A person starts to live when he can live outside himself.
