"Modern education is competitive, nationalistic and separative. It has trained the child to regard material values as of major importance, to believe that his nation is also of major importance and superior to other nations and peoples. The general level of world information is high but usually biased, influenced by national prejudices, serving to make us citizens of our nation but not of the world."
-Albert Einstein

"Each ray of light moves in the coordinate system 'at rest' with the definite, constant velocity V independent of whether this ray of light is emitted by a body at rest or a body in motion. "
The actual quote about speed of light, often interpreted incorrectly as a statement that nothing can travel faster.
-Albert Einstein, 1905

“We all know that light travels faster than sound. That's why certain people appear bright until you hear them speak.”
― Albert Einstein
