Quotable Quotes: Albert Einstein

I first heard this quote by Albert Einstein in Adam Grant's excellent book "Originals," and really liked it. I shared the quote with my son, who at the time, was having difficulty with some adults in his life, and he smiled.

"Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds."

Then I discovered there was more:

"The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly."

Ouch.
