Albert Einstein was a smart guy. More important than just his brains however was his ability to think different, to look at problems from a new perspective, to deny unperceived norms in his quest for truth. In the process of his life he fashioned a number of great axioms and I thought I'd share some of my favorite with you:

“Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.”

“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”

“The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.”

“Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.”

“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

“I want to know God’s thoughts; the rest are details.”

“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”

“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”

Enjoy. Maybe try and make one of them your axiom for the day!
