About this quote

This page records the wording "A hundred times every day I remind myself that my…," which centers on hundred, times, remind. A concrete trail points toward Einstein, but the exact English form remains unconfirmed; the page therefore labels it as attributed to him while preserving its science and life context.

When to use it

  • Use "A hundred times every day I remind myself that my…" in a science discussion, then ask which concrete claim the wording makes.
  • Compare its treatment of hundred with times in a lesson, essay, or editorial note before drawing a conclusion.
  • Before sharing it as Einstein's exact words, display the attribution caveat and follow the evidence link recorded on the page.
