Kathryn's Quote on life


"Not everthing that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted."


by: Albert Einstein


Albert was the greatest scientist and mathematician of the twentieth century. In 1932 Einstein is at the height of his fame at age 53. Identified as a Jew, he begins to feel the heat of Nazi Germany. 1933 Albert and Elsa his wife set sail for the US. Because of the Notsie killing the Jews.1939 Einstein writes a famous letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt warning of possibility of Germany's building an atomic bomb and urging nuclear research. In 1940 Einstein becomes an American citizen; retains Swiss citizenship. He dies in 1955 due to heart failure on April16.


I Choose this saying because it is very true in most ways in life. You either count or you don't. In a way for everyone this is the way they view life and all that is around them because you can count on somethings and somethings may not be able to be counted on.

I really like this quote because what a person does in life that is good never seems to matter, but anything someone does that is bad seems to matter the most to people. This quote shows the reality of our world, and how all the little things people do are always unnoticed.
