things that count and things that don't

On his deathbed, Albert Einstein’s last words were not understood by the only nurse on duty that evening because he had said them in German. It was an unfinished utterance.

Einstein spent most of his Nobel Prize money on making sure that his first wife and the two sons he had with her were well looked- after. But in his will, his allocated more money to his two step-daughters from his second marriage than to his two sons.

I was trying to recall some of his quotes…

“A man really only starts to live when he learns how to live outside of himself.”

“Things that are counted do not always count, but things that count usually cannot be counted.”

“I have never considered myself talented; I am just inquisitive.”
