Rita Mae Brown wrote that phrase in her book "Sudden Death" in 1983. Most people attribute that quote to Albert Einstein, but he actually did not say that.

Asked in Men's Health
Why is it that i do the same things and expect different results?
That's the definition of insanity. Don't worry, we all do it. A
lot of what we do is from habit and a habit is one of the hardest
things to change. If you know you are going to repeat what is
probably a bad behavior, think before you do it and make a choice
not to. Be aware of what you are doing and change it. You have to
be honest with yourself, but after a while, you do it without
thinking and you will realize that you have changed your behavior
and are not making the same mistake over and over.

Why is there value to knowing why something is done instead of just how it is done?
It is important to know why you are doing something so that you

adds value, because the definition of insanity is expecting change
even though you are doing the same thing over and over.

This proverb can be applied to many situations such as work,

something else if they aren't happy with their situation. For

with your thinking.

Asked in Law & Legal Issues
Why is it difficult to agree on a universally accepted definition of law?
I don't believe there is a problem defining what a law is, the
problem is defining what the laws are. The challenge is defining
what and whose laws should be created and enforced, as well as how
rigorously.
Different countries, and different political or religious belief
systems, have different concepts of what the laws are or what they
should be. Since we really do not have universal agreement about
anything here on planet Earth, there is no reason to expect
universal agreement about the definition of what the laws are.
