We should require sources for quotes to be taken seriously. That’s too much work for libs though lol
What's the source for this quote? I struggle to picture him saying it, and I can't see it as something he'd ever have printed in a book. He also doesn't strike me as the kind of person to boast about how big brained he is "hurr hurr intelligent people ignore hurr hurr". 
I'm willing to be wrong but I can't find a source for it.
No way he said this. Tons of people misattribute quotes to Einstein. This quote also gets attributed to buddha. Good rule of thumb is: if a quote is plastered all over those dumb quote websites (especially attributed to a very famous person) but doesn't exist on wikiquote, then you can pretty comfortably say its not an accurate quote.
Don't believe everything you read on the internet.
--Abraham Lincoln
I love how it’s always attributed to Lincoln
Truly a man ahead of his time
Its undeniable that's he is quoted as saying it...
Seriously though it would be a tight competition between Einstein and Stalin as to who has had the most misattributed quotes
"Communism is when so hungry the only source of protein for the proletariat is the sweat from their hard-working balls. Ligma la vista."
Can confirm Stalin directly told me this, which is the true cause of the Sino-Soviet split
There it is tankie, in Stalin's own words. Checkmate
What's wrong with revenge?
Before one embarks on a path towards revenge they should first dig two graves.
--Marilyn Monroe
N+1 graves.
no more half measures walter
For both those motherfuckers who wronged you
On my path of revenge I’m gonna need a lot more than two
In everyday experience, I guess it just steals your time thinking about other people, who did you wrong, you really should not care about.
Sometimes you use half measures
they can revenge you back. and if you kill them to prevent that their relatives might revenge you. it's this whole thing
if you kill them to prevent that their relatives might revenge you
No more half measures, Walter.
Fortunately, human connections are famously discrete, just kill everyone within 6 degrees of separation and that should cover anyone who might seek revenge 
No more half measures Albert
Revenge is more easily and relevant in small communities. In large societies it barely works.
Yeah, depends on if they're in The Game or not.
When Malcolm X talks about the knife in the back, he is taking the L because he should just have ignored the knife like the intelligent people.
Peak intelligence:

Do "smell" and "Al" rhyme for you?
Yes absolutely
Neat. That's called the celery-salary merger. For me "smell" has the same vowel as "bet" and "Al" has the same vowel as "bat", so they're similar but distinct.
