Below are one hundred and five(105) inspirational quotes of a truly great man, Albert Einstein (March 4, 1879 - April 18, 1955). He was a German physicist who proposed a theory known as 'The Theory of Relativity' and a formula called 'Mass-Energy' formula in which he gave the relationship between mass and energy as E=MC2, where 'E' stands for Energy, 'M' stands for Mass and 'C' is the speed of light. It may interest you to know that when he was young, he was considered to be the dullest kid in class but that never changed what he truly is; a genius. When he died, his brain was removed within seven and a half hours of his death, they then used a microscope to count the number cells in it as being one of the foremost genius of the 20th century. Sit back and relax while you go through some of his quotes as you may learn one or two things and be inspired.
