Albert Einstein’s vs Johan Cruijff’s quotes

Albert Einstein’s vs Johan Cruijff’s quotes

Albert Einstein made some pretty good remarks. Johan Cruijff was good at it too, and we'll leave it up to you whose quotes are the sharpest.

Albert Einstein: “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

Johan Cruijff: “If I wanted you to understand, I would have explained it better.” (Als ik zou willen dat je het begreep, zou ik het beter hebben uitgelegd.)

Albert Einstein: “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”

Johan Cruijff: “Every disadvantage has its advantage.” (Elk nadeel heb z’n voordeel)

Albert Einstein: “It’s not that Im so smart. I stay with problems longer.”

Johan Cruijff: “If you can't win, you have to make sure you don't lose.” (Als je niet ken winnen, moet je zorgen dat je niet verliest.)

Albert Einstein: “Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one learned in school.”

Johan Cruijff: “Playing soccer is very simple, but the hardest thing there is is playing simple soccer.” (Voetballen is heel simpel, maar het moeilijkste wat er is, is simpel voetballen.)

Albert Einstein: “I believe in intuitions. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am.”

Johan Cruijff: “I do not believe in God. In Spain, all 22 players make a sign of the cross before coming onto the field, so if it works, it will always be a draw." (Ik geloof niet in God. In Spanje slaan alle 22 spelers een kruisje voordat ze het veld opkomen, als het werkt, zal het dus altijd een gelijkspel worden.)

Albert Einstein: “If you can’t explain it to a six year old, you don’t understand it yourself.”

Johan Cruijff: “It is better to go down with your own vision than with the vision of someone else.” (Je kunt beter ten onder gaan met je eigen visie dan met de visie van een ander.)

Albert Einstein: “Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.”

Johan Cruijff: “Often something has to happen before something happens.” (Vaak moet er iets gebeuren voordat er iets gebeurt.)

Albert Einstein: “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”

Johan Cruijff: “There is only one moment when you can arrive on time. If you're not there, you're either too early or too late.” (Er is maar één moment dat je op tijd kunt komen. Ben je er niet, dan ben je óf te vroeg, óf te laat.)

Albert Einstein: “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”

Johan Cruijff: “When you play on possession, you don't have to defend, because there is only one ball.” (Als je op balbezit speelt, hoef je niet te verdedigen, want er is maar één bal.)

Albert Einstein: “Strive not to be a succes, but rather to be of value.”

Johan Cruijff: “I'm against everything. Until I make a decision, then I'm for it. Seems logical to me.” ( Ik ben overal tegen. Tot ik een besluit neem, dan ben ik ervoor. Lijkt me logisch).

And so we can go on. Who is the best, Einstein or Cruijff? That seems like the wrong question to me. They are not inferior to each other in ingenuity and originality.
