Quote by Albert Einstein

Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity.

Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity

Summary

This quote captures the essence of the difference between politics and science. Politics is inherently focused on the present, as it deals with the decisions and actions necessary for governing a society in the current moment. On the other hand, an equation belongs to the realm of science and represents eternal knowledge. An equation, once discovered and proven, remains true and applicable irrespective of time and context. It emphasizes the lasting and timeless nature of scientific principles, highlighting the contrast between the transient nature of political affairs and the enduring truths found in scientific advancements.

It is singular how soon we lose the impression of what ceases to be constantly before us. A year impairs, a luster obliterates.
