Einstein Quote of the Day

I know it's been a long time since I've posted, and I have a lot of pictures and "catching up" to do... I just need to find the time to do it. *Sigh.
Until then, here is a quote from Einstein that I'd like to share:

"Any fool can know. The point is to understand."

I have many thoughts about this statement, and most of them are about myself. I 'know' a lot of things, but I don't 'understand' very many of them. I 'know' I will be married someday, but I don't 'understand' why I'm not there yet. I 'know' that I do a good job at my job, but I don't 'understand' why other people don't see it differently. I 'know' that eating healthy, exercising, and thinking positive thoughts will help me lose weight, but I don't 'understand' why it takes forever for it to happen ;)
I also know that I do 'understand' things that I 'know'. I 'understand' and 'know' why there are speed limits when you are driving. I 'understand' and 'know' what it feels like to have your heart crushed by someone you loved. I 'understand' and 'know' that I don't 'know' and 'understand' everything there is to know and understand :)

Blah blah blah. Anyone reading this have a different take on this quote? I'd like to hear what you have to say!

Einstein Quote of the Day

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."

How true is that? If you're not curious about anything, or question things, how do you know for yourself if you believe something or not? I think this not only has application to worldly things, but to spiritual, or religious things as well.
Curiosity may have killed the cat, but without curiosity we would not be where we are today.

New Einstein Quote

No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.

How true is that? It's not always so easy to prove something is right, but more easy to prove something is wrong... or in the case of everyday living: it's always easier to find the negative in things than it is the positive. Interesting how that works...

Einstein Quote of the Day

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.

On my computer I get a new quote from Einstein every day. This is the quote for today. The first time I read it, I agreed but as I was typing it, I read it differently... which made me think. Depending on what the situation is, knowledge could be just as important as imagination. For instance, if you were trapped in a fire, knowledge would tell you (hopefully) how best to get out and survive; but if you didn't know how to get out and used your imagination to find a way to keep you safe... well, it sounded better in my head :) Although I do suppose that it would be because of somebody else's imagination that we would have the knowledge to get out of that fire in the first place. Hmmm.
Chances are, Einstein was hinting toward a much deeper level of understanding than what I can comprehend anyway, so I'll just keep thinking about it.
