are these quotes from einstein and Nikola tesla true and what did they mean by it?

The first quote is total nonsense, so it can't possibly have been said by Einstein. It sounds much more like the words of some charlatan like Deepak Chopra. 

Tesla was a bit off his rocker towards the end so (which is why he a favourite of cranks) so there's no telling what he might have said. 

From your previous posts, you seem to have a thing about "energy" and "vibration", I notice. This is usually a sign of a crank, peddling pseudoscience. I'd stop that, if I were you. 

Energy is a property of a physical system. It is not "stuff" that exists on its own, any more than momentum, mass or electric charge is. 

Vibration, or its quantum-mechanical counterpart, is certainly present in a lot of systems in nature, but by no means in all.

You can put phrases into a search engine and see if there are credible sources for them (not just people repeating them, or worse, anything a LLM spits out, but actual sources)

I've tracked down the alleged quotation from Tesla now, on Wikiquote:

"Disputed

If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration. My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists.

First attribution is to Ralph Bergstresser who claims to have heard this from Tesla in a conversation "following an experience with the Maharaja's son"[1]."

So it seems the supposed quote is just hearsay.  

 

And the supposed Einstein one is indeed most definitely bullshit, just as I thought: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/05/16/everything-energy/. Furthermore, again as I suspected, it comes from some New Agey ballocks that some charlatan* has tried to retrofit to Einstein.
