No idea whether Einstein actually said this, but interesting nonetheless

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I’d be surprised if this was his quote. When he said that god doesn’t play dice with the universe, he was not endorsing a deity’s existence , but rather he was poetically rejecting Niels Bohr’s Quantum theory

I think we are not sacred, and this soul thing is questionable. We are just cosmic stuff.

Just? Stardust!
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” Albert Einstein
Btw, ‘sacred’ doesn’t have to mean religious, just more ‘special’ than mundane

That's amazing. I'm just after reading a book called The Master And His Emissary and that's exactly what it's about.
The most poetic thing I remember Einstein writing was in Relativity and it was the phrase "relativity of simultaneity". Of course, I think the original was in German, so it was just a happy coincidence.

He was quoting, the full quote “Surround yourself with positive people, stay away from negative people. They have a problem for every solution.” predates him by centuries, and is anonymous.
@LenHazell53 our quotes are identical... but I cannot argue as to the ultimate source
@Justjoni I was editing it when you answer came up sorry about that
doesn't appear to be an Einstein field of comment

@F-IM-Forty Haven’t read many Einstein quotes, have you?
There is way too much New Age woo woo in there for Einstein to have said that. I hate memes that attribute something to someone erroneously.

New Age thinking springs from much of Einsteinian thought. Taken to rather absurd tangents, yes, but at its roots, advanced physics. All is energy.
bullshit , but you got the points to your score, GROW UP
