These Einstein quotes reveal his deep understanding and vast knowledge of the best way to live life. Albert Einstein was not only a genius in physics and mathematics; he was a very insightful person.
A Brief History
Albert Einstein was born into a Jewish family in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany on March 14, 1879.
He became a theoretical physicist and is best known (and quoted) for his theory of relativity (a theory of gravitation) and specifically mass–energy equivalence, E = mc2 (the concept that any mass has an associated energy and vice versa).
During his lifetime, Einstein published over 300 scientific works and over 150 non-scientific works. In 1955, he died at the age of 76, when he experienced internal bleeding caused by the rupture of an aortic aneurysm.

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion, to embrace all living creatures, and the whole of nature in its beauty.
