It is said that Albert Einstein kept two pictures of great scientists on his office wall: Sir
Isaac Newton and James Clerk Maxwell. In his later years, Einstein took down the
pictures of Newton and Maxwell and replaced them with two others: Mahatma Gandhi
and Albert Schweitzer, two of the most noted humanitarians of his day.
Someone asked him why he had made the change. Einstein replied that he was coming,
more and more, to appreciate that it is service, not science, that makes the difference in
life. "Only a life lived for others," he said, "is a worthwhile life."
