About This Quote
Albert Einstein once said, “I often arrive at quite sensible ideas and judgements, on the spur of the moment. It is when I stop to think that I become foolish.” He is trying to say that he sometimes has flashes of genius where he can make a decision on the spot about a certain problem, but more often than not his thoughts are less than solid.
