Albert Einstein famously called compound interest "the most amazing mathematical discovery of all time" because it allows for exponential growth, meaning interest is earned not only on the initial principal but also on the accumulated interest, leading to rapid wealth accumulation

I read that Albert Einstein once met Marilyn Monroe. She said to him "Wouldn't it be great if we had a baby together? The child would have my looks and your brains." He replied "What if the child was born with my looks and your brains?"

"Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn't, pays it."

"Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it."

I kept this above my desk through most of my career. It was often reinforced after grant submissions.

I like to stay with something too, I think this attitude is a disposition.

If I may share this with you. I remember we had a calculus problem on a test which I could not solve no matter how I approached it. That particular question stayed with me over the years and every now and then I’d make another attempt, sort of like at a crossword puzzle. Then 3 years after I graduated, in the summer while at the cottage, in a dream, the solution came to me! I was elated. But I have never used the equation for anything. (Calculating the volume of an irregular mass.)

Put the irregular object in a container of water and measure how much the water level has risen. (Calculus 101 at Florida Atlantic University . . .)
