The Albert Quote Quiz

I have been a quote collector for about 15 years. Albert Schweitzer and Albert Einstein have said some of the most insightful and sometimes funny things. Can you identify who said what? Okay to check the wikis first :)

"The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one."


"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."

"Example is leadership."

"Imagination is more important than knowledge"

"Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory."

"Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing."

"The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives."


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

"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind."

"I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve."


Can you tell which Albert said what? Take a guess and let me know how you did. The answers are in the comments.. but don't peek before you guess :)

    The only one that I felt unsure of was "A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."

  3. Good job Joe! Not sure that I could have got them all :)

    I did meet Chaplain Almond once several years ago when I volunteered with Prison Fellowship at his prison in Lansing. Small world.
