You think so? I thought that the German sentences were the originals.

He emigrated to the United States where he spoke English, and of course he was in correspondence with many that didn't know German, so some of his aphorisms in German are really just translations. I've been trying to find out where he actually said that life was like riding a bike. ☺

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.

Wow. That was a quick response. Thank you. ☺ Interestingly, the German page on Wikiquote doesn't have it.

„Warum klingt dieses Einsteinzitat wie eine wörtliche Übersetzung aus dem Englischen? Das kann der doch unmöglich so gesagt haben.“ – „Wahrscheinlich, weil es tatsächlich eine Übersetzung aus dem Englischen ist.“

➜ #5226075„Kial tiu citaĵo de Ejnŝtejno sonas kvazaŭ laŭvorta traduko el la angla? Ja ne eblas, ke li vere diris tion en tiu maniero.“ – „Verŝajne ĉar ĝi fakte estas traduko el la angla.“

➜ #11742854"Why does this quote from Einstein sound like a word-for-word translation from the English? He can't have said it like that." "Probably because it is in fact a translation from the English."
