A selection of retranslations of Albert Einstein s quotes that are worth reading often with children

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-01-29

Foreword: Albert Einstein was not only a great scientist, but also a great thinker. Because of his identity and occupation, he not only revered Einstein but also studied it. I have taken some time to reorganize and compile Einstein's quotes, which are based on three principles: (1) resolutely eliminate those that have been verified not to be from Einstein himself;(2) Carefully check what Einstein actually said, and restore the original meaning;(3) Based on the original English and with reference to domestic and foreign materials, re-transcribing and translating, correcting the errors and errors of false rumors, and striving to be more accurate, appropriate and fluent.

[This article allows**, but please be faithful to the original].
