“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.”
On Feb. 5, 1930, Einstein write this in a letter to his son Eduard Einstein: "Beim Menschen ist es wiebeim Velo. Nur wenn er faehrt, kann er bequem die Balance halten." A more literal translation of this German is: "It is the same with people as it is with riding a bike. Only when moving can one comfortably maintain one's balance." At that time Eduard was suffering serious mental illness and almost going to commit suicide. (According to Walter Isaacson's "Einstein: His Life and Universe" ).
This words is both true physically and mentally. Buddha has a similar words recorded in Diamond Sūtra:
