10 Famous False Quotes by Albert Einstein:

  • “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” 
An authentic replacement could be: " The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility. . .  The fact that it is comprehensible is a miracle."  - From “Physics and Reality” 1936
  • “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new." 
- not an authentic Einstein quote in that wording. The approved version is “Only the one who does not search is safe from making a mistake”.  AEA 37-464
  • “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
  • “Creativity is intelligence having fun.”
  • “The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.”
  • “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” 
This quote is falsely attributed to Einstein.
  • “Failure is success in progress.” 
Correct quote: "Failure and deprivation are the best educators and purifiers.” AEA 43-915
  • “If the bee disappeared off the face of the Earth, man would only have four years left to live.”
  • “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”
  • “Stay away from negative people. They have a problem for every solution.”
