| Patriotic Quotes
Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. What pity is it That we can die, but once to serve our country. Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it. Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime. |

Albert Einstein was born at Ulm, in Württemberg, Germany, on March 14, 1879.
Six weeks later the family moved to Munich and he began his schooling there
at the Luitpold Gymnasium. Later, they moved to Italy and Albert continued
his education at Aarau, Switzerland and in 1896 he entered the Swiss Federal
Polytechnic School in Zurich to be trained as a teacher in physics and
mathematics. In 1901, the year he gained his diploma, he acquired Swiss
citizenship and, as he was unable to find a teaching post, he accepted a
position as technical assistant in the Swiss Patent Office. In 1905 he
obtained his doctor's degree.
During his stay at the Patent Office, and in his spare time, he produced
much of his remarkable work and in 1908 he was appointed Privatdozent in
Berne. In 1909 he became Professor Extraordinary at Zurich, in 1911
Professor of Theoretical Physics at Prague, returning to Zurich in the
following year to fill a similar post. In 1914 he was appointed Director of
the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute and Professor in the University of
Berlin. He became a German citizen in 1914 and remained in Berlin until 1933
when he renounced his citizenship for political reasons and emigrated to
America to take the position of Professor of Theoretical Physics at
Princeton*. He became a United States citizen in 1940 and retired from his
post in 1945.
After World War II, Einstein was a leading figure in the World Government
Movement, he was offered the Presidency of the State of Israel, which he
declined, and he collaborated with Dr. Chaim Weizmann in establishing the
Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Einstein always appeared to have a clear view of the problems of physics and
the determination to solve them. He had a strategy of his own and was able
to visualize the main stages on the way to his goal. He regarded his major
achievements as mere stepping-stones for the next advance.
At the start of his scientific work, Einstein realized the inadequacies of
Newtonian mechanics and his special theory of relativity stemmed from an
attempt to reconcile the laws of mechanics with the laws of the
electromagnetic field. He dealt with classical problems of statistical
mechanics and problems in which they were merged with quantum theory: this
led to an explanation of the Brownian movement of molecules. He investigated
the thermal properties of light with a low radiation density and his
observations laid the foundation of the photon theory of light.
In his early days in Berlin, Einstein postulated that the correct
interpretation of the special theory of relativity must also furnish a
theory of gravitation and in 1916 he published his paper on the general
theory of relativity. During this time he also contributed to the problems
of the theory of radiation and statistical mechanics.
In the 1920's, Einstein embarked on the construction of unified field
theories, although he continued to work on the probabilistic interpretation
of quantum theory, and he persevered with this work in America. He
contributed to statistical mechanics by his development of the quantum
theory of a monatomic gas and he has also accomplished valuable work in
connection with atomic transition probabilities and relativistic cosmology.
After his retirement he continued to work towards the unification of the
basic concepts of physics, taking the opposite approach, geometrisation, to
the majority of physicists.
Einstein's researches are, of course, well chronicled and his more important
works include Special Theory of Relativity (1905), Relativity (English
translations, 1920 and 1950), General Theory of Relativity (1916),
Investigations on Theory of Brownian Movement (1926), and The Evolution of
Physics (1938). Among his non-scientific works, About Zionism (1930), Why
War? (1933), My Philosophy (1934), and Out of My Later Years (1950) are
perhaps the most important.
Albert Einstein received honorary doctorate degrees in science, medicine and
philosophy from many European and American universities. During the 1920's
he lectured in Europe, America and the Far East and he was awarded
Fellowships or Memberships of all the leading scientific academies
throughout the world. He gained numerous awards in recognition of his work,
including the Copley Medal of the Royal Society of London in 1925, and the
Franklin Medal of the Franklin Institute in 1935.
Einstein's gifts inevitably resulted in his dwelling much in intellectual
solitude and, for relaxation, music played an important part in his life. He
married Mileva Maric in 1903 and they had a daughter and two sons; their
marriage was dissolved in 1919 and in the same year he married his cousin,
Elsa Löwenthal, who died in 1936. He died on April 18, 1955 at Princeton,
New Jersey.
