# What this round-up covers Michael Yardney's item collects 10 quotations attributed to Albert Einstein and presents them as short, standalone observations people commonly repeat. The post opens by noting recent scientific coverage: British scientists validated Einstein's estimate for how fast the universe is expanding, a result the story says prompted praise for his "incredible accuracy."
# The quotes cited The article lists a sequence of memorable lines. Yardney reproduces these quotations without extended commentary. Examples included in the text are:
- "A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."
- "Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it."
- "I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice."
- "I never think of the future. It comes soon enough."
- "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
The post also includes a bonus quote and cites the Telegraph as the source for that item.
# Why readers might care The quotes are short, quotable, and emphasize themes people often attribute to Einstein: skepticism toward arrogance, a playful take on human limits, and a blend of scientific curiosity with philosophical or moral observations. Yardney's post packages these lines for quick sharing or personal reflection.
# What the story does not do
# Practical takeaways for use and sharing
- Use the lines as conversation starters, not as precise historical citations. For formal contexts, verify original sources before quoting.
- Note the mix of topics: some quotes target personal behavior (mistakes, future), others take positions about science, faith, or the consequences of war.
# Bottom line Yardney's post is a curated list of widely circulated Einstein quotations, presented for easy reading and sharing. If you need authoritative sourcing for any specific quote, follow up with dedicated historical or academic references that document when and where Einstein actually said or wrote each line.
