  1. This quote "We are all equally wise, and equally foolish." was said by a very smart inventor named Albert Einstein. This quote and this man are very clever but I believe this quote is cleverly thought up by Mr. Einstein. This quote means that we are all equal with what we do and how we act. This quote is so helpful that there is really no end to its meaning. Personally I think this quote means so much yet some people don't know how much it means to others. This quote personally means that everyone is equal no matter what they do and how they do things in life. The quote we are dealing with comes with so much thought and feeling that it sometimes is difficult for us to understand but all you have to do is not think about it just let it come when it's the right situation.
    The quote that was said by Albert Einstein is mentally and emotionally helpful. This quote has affected me in many different ways such as when I am with my friends I sometimes forget about them being my friends and think more that they are my sisters by the way that we all act together. My friends and I are every foolish but when we look around there are others being either just as foolish or more but the main thing is that we are all equally as smart and talented in our own little ways. Like my friends are extremely smart in anime and sometimes I am too but we also learn other languages from anime so we can understand what the anime is saying instead of reading the subtitles. Others can be musically inclined or even mathematical intelligent. Everything that people do is helpful in someway no matter how much you and I see it as a bad thing what their doing to others isn't a bad thing at all. This quote can help some people express how much they are intelligent or even talented, people just need a little push sometimes so they can find out what they are all about by themselves. This quote is very important to me and my friends because this basically explains our lives and how we act when we are around each other. When you have friends like mine you will understand what I mean and you will see how much fun we have together as a group. This quote helps with more than you think all you have to do is look into yourself just to see what your all about and how you affect others around you.

    1. Great response to Mr. Einstein’s quote. I say this because I agree with your opinion on the meaning of the quote being that we are all equal with what we do and how we act. However I do not understand what you meant when you said “this quote is so helpful that there is really no end to its meaning.” I think next time you should plan out how you wright your thoughts next time. But any way nice quote.

  2. Albert Einstein’s quote "We are all equally wise, and equally foolish," means a lot to me. This is because I interpreted this quote to mean that we are all equal even if we think we do something wrong the chances are the other person made a similar mistake. For example say if you’re practicing for a basketball game and you miss four out of your ten shots but your teammate made nine out of ten, he most likely was in your position at one time. A quote that can relate to Albert Einstein’s quote is one by Linda Ellerbe. The quote is “People are pretty much alike. It's only that our differences are more susceptible to definition than our similarities.” I think it resembles Albert’s Einstein’s quote because like Albert’s this quote also states that we are all equal with smaller differences that make are personality different but not are self as a person. I mean there is a billon more quotes that can relate but I found this one to be the most interesting of quotes. Some other examples could include, propyl the most know example, discrimination. For example even to this day some people view African Americans as less than white people even though they don’t understand that we are all equal in many ways.this can aslo be true for sexism and other acts of discrimination like age, religion, medical issues, education, and physical characteristics. That is how I interpreted Albert Einstein’s quote.
    There is literally trillions of examples I experienced Albert Einstein’s quote "We are all equally wise, and equally foolish," in my life. One of these examples can relate to what issue every day at my high school with all these students referring their fellow peers as less than them because of their appearance, sex, skin color, education etc… another example can relate to my mom’s job where she only earns half of what her fellow male co works make which in my opinion makes no sense. And final my last example of my life experiences which is basically every day when I am labeled as less than some people because I have type one diabetes. Not in a hateful way but in a unknowing way feel as if I’m some what degraded. That is just a few of my many real life experiences with albert Einstein’s quote "We are all equally wise, and equally foolish."

    1. I agree with what you said Mike. I think that how you explained the quote is nicely put out. You also had a nicely placed example. You explained your example with more explanation than your thoughts on the quote. Anyway you were good at explaining everything.

    2. i completely agree wiht you mike. I like how you used the examples you used I think they fit the quote as good as it could. I also think that you and I are on the same topic when you talk about this quote.

  3. "We are all equally wise, and equally foolish." -Albert Einstein
    Albert Einstein once said this quote. What I think this quote means is that no matter what if you’re in a different track than someone else in school doesn’t mean that you are not as smart as that person in a higher track than you. “We are all equally wise”. Someone who doesn’t know anything could know everything. Who cares if you’re not as smart as someone you are smart in your own ways because we are all equally wise. The same thing applies with “We are equally foolish”. If someone who thinks that you are foolish and you never take anything serious. This part of the quote happens when someone thinks that you cant do certain things in school because they think that they are smarter than you. Like a certain math problem that they think you won’t be able understand, but end up knowing how to do it. What this quote means to me personally is that everyone judges other people for what they are when really they’re the same too. Everyone has a flaw and no one is perfect. So why judge someone else when you have a flaw as well. “We are all equally wise, and Equally foolish.

  4. The quote "We are all equally wise, and equally foolish" written by Albert Einstein means that not everybody in the world today knows everything.It's not possible to know everything no matter who you are their is always some fact not found by human life and we just have to sit and wait until it is discovered.Us as humans would be crazy or either boring if everyone knew everything it be like "Oh ok I am a genius I get it, "No way me too."" I also think that this quotes means basically don't judge a book by it's cover because maybe theirs something special inside of that person.
    A way this relates to my life is sports during basketball, when I play with the older kids in AAU an or at Nationals when we play a really good team I feel like not a big deal because these kids make us look bad even though the kids on the other team are probably way older then us. Another way I feel like this is when at home when I say something stupid and my brother Danny gets on me when really he is the dumb one out of us two and he knows it he just likes to push my buttons and it gets to me and it makes me mad.

  5. Once said by a very intelligent man named Albert Einstein " We are all equally wise, and equally foolish." This quote means that we all made equal and nobody's different. No one should be judged on how they look, how smart they are, how stupid they are, all humans are created equal for a reason. God wanted us to be equal. What this quote means to me is that we're all equal in every single way. No one should be bullied or judged or stupid stuff like that, but some people are just immature, I can relate to this because I don't really try in school and people think I'm dumb but when I try I'm actually pretty intelligent. Don't judge anyone on how dumb or smart they are because we're all equal. Haha once again ms bocchino another great quote once said by Albert Einstein "We are all equally wise, and equally foolish."

  6. The quote," We are all equally wise, and equally foolish," is a great quote by Albert Einstein. I think when he made this quote he was relating to his own life as well as other peoples lives. I think it is unique that a great scientist like him self made most of his quote relating to him. This being said I think the quote means that not one person is perfect. There are many people in this world and they are all different but for one thing we are all wise and foolish at the same time. Someone can be the smartest and brightest person but that doesn't meant that they aren't wise. Most of my friends are both wise and foolish. To me ithink most people are on the foolish part. Even though were all equally wise and foolish I think most people tend to be foolish because its fun. To a point, I think foolish can be fun otherwise it isn't nessasary. I think that the world shout be more wise and smart rahter than being foolish. It would be better off if people were more wise because foolish people get no where in life. All foolish people do is they like to get attention. If you act foolish and you go over board u can end up in trouble or hurt. Someone I know always said stupidity deserves to be painfull. I think this is absoulutely true and I agree with this mainly because if you are being foolish and you know you are you should get treated well you almost always end up in pain. One time my friend was in a hammock in a tree and I was swing him he told me to stop and he started to swing his self. He wanted flip all the way over which didnt work out so well. Instead he fell out of the hammock and hit the ground really hard. He ended up bracking his clavical. I think he deserved this completely because he was being foolish and he knows that what he did was wrong. I think if he wasn't trying to impress anyone he would have been fine. I also think that since he wasn't that wise that most of him was foolish. This comes to where I said I think most of the people in this world are foolish and not enough wise. It would be better off if everyone was more wise rather than being so foolish all the time. Therefor I think the quote," We are all equally wise, and equally foolish," by Albert Einstein, means that everyone in this world is equally foolish and equally wise.

  7. People are wise and some are foolish and some are even both. Everyone is different in a large variety of ways but have an equal amount of similarities. The quote "We are all equally wise, and equally foolish." was once stated by Albert Einstein. Einstein has created many inspiration quotes such as this one. It has a few different meanings and I interpret it as a well thought out quote.
    This quote to me, means that everyone has their good moments and moments where they've messed up with silly mistakes. If you accidentally have a small typo, miss a catch, or many other things. Those are moments when you're being the foolish one. Then you have other moments where you become much wiser than you were before. Where you just think of a bright idea to avoid a situation or solve a problem in a class or in your daily life.
    Many thoughts are processed through our brain and sometimes it can mess up. Ruining your whole train of though and making you mess something up.
    Once in a while your intelligence will rise greatly and other times it will sink and make you more foolish. Einstein has the right idea when stating this quote and how it's said. Mistakes are normal for people and being wise every so often gives you a great feeling inside. Makes you feel like you're not as silly as you think you are and that you don't always ruin or mess something up. Learning from prior mistakes you've made is an excellent example that sums up the quote.
    It has happened to me before as well as many other people. For example, this one time, I was playing Chess with my brother and I ended up losing in the end because I made a silly little mistake that cost me the whole match. But, because of that mistake, I learned from it and to not repeat myself by screwing up again. So after a couple of games, I ended up winning after making a couple tiny mistakes and that made me feel great. Like, I became wiser and knew more about the game and what to and not to do. Making foolish mistakes is normal for people but we're the ones who need to catch them and learn from the ones we've made in the past.

  8. this quote was said by a famous inventor and mathematician. "We are all equally wise, and equally foolish." this was said by albert Einstein. I think that this quote means that we all have some similarities and some differences. not everyone is the same. and not everyone is different. we all have our very own unique set of skills and styles and goals towards life. also some people can have the same goals as others. we may think alike and people may not think alike. have you ever seen a movie or cartoon where one character ask another character, "are you thinking what im thinking?" that would mean that the 2 people are thinking in the same way or in the same manner. we can also be foolish by making a silly mistake or striking out in baseball. either way there both mistakes and in the future we can learn from them. take a look at Eli manning. he threw interceptions but then learned from his mistake in the post seasons by not throwing one interception. then after that he won the super bowl. see he was foolish in the beginning but then he learned from his mistakes and he was wise in the end. this can relate to my life because I was playing tic tac toe with my cousin and he beat me because I put the x in the wrong spot. but in the future I learned from my mistake and beat him. see, I was foolish in the beginning then I became wise in the end. its all because I learned from my mistakes.
