Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist  who developed the general theory of relativity one of the two pillars of modern physics (quantum mechanics).While best known for his mass-energy equivalence formula E = mc2 he received the 1921 Nobel prize in physics for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.


Quotes:

  • " When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity."― Albert Einstein
  • “I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.”  ― Albert Einstein
  • "Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."― Albert Einstein
  • "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school."― Albert Einstein
  • "Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing."― Albert Einstein
  • "A human being is a part of a whole, called by us universe a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. 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."― Albert Einstein
  • "God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically."  ― Albert Einstein


Sir Isaac Newton (25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727) was an English physicist and mathematician who is widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists of all time and as a key figure in the scientific revolution. His book PhilosophiƦ Naturalis Principia Mathematica("Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy"), first published in 1687, laid the foundations for most of classical mechanics. Newton also made seminal contributions to optics and shares credit with Gottfried Leibniz for the invention of the infinitesimal calculus.


Quotes:


  • "I see I have made my self a slave to Philosophy."
  • "Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things." 


William Shakespeare (26 April 1564  – 23 April 1616) was an English poet and playwright, was born and brought up in Stratford-upon-Avon , widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist.
