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.

It is important to know why you are doing something so that you know if it even needs to be done. Knowing the result you expect adds value, because the definition of insanity is expecting change even though you are doing the same thing over and over.

What does it mean to do the same thing repeately but expecting a different outcome?
Some say, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing but expecting a different result. When you use the same thought process, same approach, maybe same system over and over again and still getting the same result, it's time to change the above mentioned. Kind of like if you were to get in your car....and make car noises but the car doesn't start. You really want the car to start, and day after day you go and sit in your car and make car noises. Stop and think, how else will this car start. Hmmmm. Maybe use the key, then the car will start. Another saying, there isn't one way to skin a cat....ouch...I know sounds terrible but basically the same idea. There are several methods you just have to keeping trying until you get your result you want. IF? You have tried everything including what everyone else even suggests then maybe it's time to find a new goal or different outcome. Be flexible because life isn't!

I feel that John McCain is in a good position to run for President in 2012. By that time he will have plenty of rest since he lost the 2008 election. Can I ask him too?
John McCain will be almost 80 years old by then. Besides, he already lost against Obama. To do the same thing over and over again expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. McCain is the reason we have Obama right now. In 2012 you will be able to vote for a true small government Republican who can beat Obama. http://www.garyjohnson2012.com
What is the definition of insanity?
La définition de la folie peut varier en fonction des contextes et des perspectives. De manière générale, la folie est souvent associée à une altération de l'état mental qui se manifeste par des comportements, des émotions et des pensées considérés comme anormaux ou déviants par rapport à la norme sociale. Il convient toutefois de noter que les termes "folie" ou "maladie mentale" ont souvent été utilisés de manière stigmatisante et discriminatoire envers les personnes souffrant de troubles psychiques. De nos jours, de nombreux professionnels de la santé mentale préfèrent utiliser des termes tels que "troubles psychiques" ou "troubles mentaux" pour décrire ces conditions et éviter ainsi toute forme de stigmatisation ou de discrimination.
