Einstein had lots of witty sayings like:
1) When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking.
2) Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction.
3) I know quite certainly that I myself have no special talent; curiosity, obsession and dogged endurance, combined with self-criticism, have brought me to my ideas.
But it was not these sayings that made him well recognized, rather once recognised his sayings gained meaning and importance. What can we do in our lives to insure that the world is ready to listen?

Remember our conversation about Ron Paul and the natural progression of society towards dictatorship today? Read #2 quote you have here from Einstein! Not saying he would be successful, but Einstein seems to suggest he’s a genius with courage:) lol.

This would be true if he actually did anything other than talk about it. Talking about what should be done in a way that few people take seriously and doing it are very different things.
