This is by far my most favorite qoute (i copy pasted the story with it). I use it quite often, but normally it just irritates the teacher instead of letting a test be open notes or open book

A WISE MAN


A reporter interviewed Albert Einstein. At the end of the interview, the reporter asked if he could have Einstein's phone number so he could call if he had further questions.

“Certainly” replied Einstein. He picked up the phone directory and looked up his phone number, then wrote it on a slip of paper and handed it to the reporter.

Dumbfounded, the reporter said, "You are considered to be the smartest man in the world and you can't remember your own phone number?”

Einstein replied, “Why should I memorize something when I know where to find it?”

10. "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it."

32. "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."

Those are the only two with which I find myself in real agreement. Otherwise they're a lot of dreamy romanticism from a very, very clever man.....
 
26. "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

this is the most important one.
 
13. "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."

17. "What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world."
