英文：Between genius and diligence, I do not hesitate to choose diligence.
翻译：天才与勤奋之间，我毫不犹豫地选择勤奋。
原句是：在天才和勤奋之间，我毫不犹豫地选择后者。她几乎是世界上一切成就的催产婆。
爱因斯坦是一名美籍犹太人，在过去300年，人类世界被这三个脑袋彻底改变了，第一个是伽利略，是近代科学之父。从这个头衔就可以看出，伽利略的地位是非常高的，也正是其发明了第一台天文望远镜，打开了人类观测宇宙的序幕。
第二个脑袋就是牛顿，在数学上，牛顿与莱布尼茨分享了微积分的发明，而在物体运动方面，牛顿提出了三大定律以及万有引力定律。

对于爱因斯坦的理论，泰戈尔是这样评价的：
爱因斯坦常常被称为一个孤独的人。数学想象的领域有助于把精神从纷繁的俗物中解脱出来，就这个意义而言，他确实是一个孤独的人。
他的哲学可以叫做一种超验的唯物论，这种哲学达到了形而上学的前沿，可以完全割断对自我世界的纠缠。科学和艺术都是天性的表现，它们高出生物学需要之上而具有终极价值。

A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought."
"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action.

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