5. What two rules of conduct did Einstein have?
Mrs. Einstein said that even she didn't understand the Theory of Relativity, but she understood something that is more important for a wife; she understood her husband.
Mrs. Einstein said that her husband liked order in his thinking, but he didn't like it in his living. He did whatever he wanted to, whenever he wanted to; he had only two rules of conduct. The first was: don't have any rules whatever. And the second was: be independent of the opinions of others.
