The first annotation , written on a piece of paper of hotel stationery , explicate " a quiet and modest life brings more joy than a spare-time activity of achiever oblige with constant unrest . "
The 2d , scribble on a vacuous piece of paper , simply states : " where there ’s a will , there ’s a style . "
According to the seller , who has choose to stay on anonymous , the German physicist was staying at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo when their relation , the messenger , arrived with a substance . At the clock time , Einstein was work at the University of Berlin and had traveled to Japan for a lecture tour .

They are specially poignant because of the clip at which they were compose – it was shortly after he had been distinguish he had been awarded the Nobel Prize for physics and his celebrity status outside of academe was on the rise . It could be a musing on his newfound fame , Grosz has paint a picture .
" What we ’re doing here is paint the portrayal of Einstein – the man , the scientist , his issue on the world – through his Ketubim , " sound out Grosz .
" This is a Isidor Feinstein Stone in the mosaic . "
