Albert Einstein on Fact

“I think that only daring speculation can lead us further and not accumulation of facts.”

“The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts, but the training of the mind to think.”

“I despaired of the possibility of discovering the true laws by means of constructive efforts based on known facts. The longer and the more despairingly I tried, the more I came to the conviction that only the discovery of a universal formal principle could lead us to assured results.”
