A theory is the more impressive the greater the simplicity of its premises is, the more different kinds of things it relates, and the more extended is its area of applicability. therefore the deep impression which classical thermodynamics made upon me. it is the only physical theory of universal content concerning which i am convinced that within the framework of the applicability of its basic concepts, it will never be overthrown.

More From Albert Einstein

A theory is the more impressive the greater the simplicity of its premises is, the more different kinds of things it relates, and the more extended its area of applicability.

A theory is the more impressive the greater is the simplicity of its premises, the more different are the kinds of things it relates and the more extended the range of its applicability.
Simplicity Different Kind
Classical thermodynamics ... is the only physical theory of universal content which i am convinced ... will never be overthrown.
Science Theory Universal
It must be conceded that a theory has an important advantage if its basic concepts and fundamental hypotheses are 'close to experience,' and greater confidence in such a theory is certainly justified. there is less danger of going completely astray, particularly since it takes so much less time and effort to disprove such theories by experience. yet more and more, as the depth of our knowledge increases, we must give up this advantage in our quest for logical simplicity in the foundations of physical theory.
Giving Up Knowledge Science
It is a remarkable fact that the second law of thermodynamics has played in the history of science a fundamental role far beyond its original scope. suffice it to mention boltzmann's work on kinetic theory, planck's discovery of quantum theory or einstein's theory of spontaneous emission, which were all based on the second law of thermodynamics.

The self is a relation which relates itself to its own self, or it is that in the relation that the relation relates itself to its own self; the self is not the relation but that the relation relates itself to its own self.

Meiklejohn's position is that free speech in a democracy is not an absolute flowing from the boundless source of some presumed 'natural right.' it is a practical necessity of 'self-government by universal suffrage,' for if the citizens are not permitted to argue out the issues of government, how can they be what they must be in a democracy - the rulers as well as the ruled?

Caring for our own hearts isn't selfishness; it's how we begin to love.
Heart Caring Selfishness
True politeness consists in being easy one's self, and in making every one about one as easy as one can.
Self Literature Easy
If any person wants to see clearly just how much she has changed - whether for better or worse - let her revisit after some lapse of time any place where she has ones lived. she will meet her former self at every turn, with every familiar face, in every old recollection ... she will see how much she has gained in some respects, how much she has lost - irretrievably lost - in others.
