More quotes by Albert Einstein
I have lived to prove Thoreau's contention that a man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.
Albert Einstein
How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought which is independent of experience, is so admirably appropriate to the objects of reality?
Albert Einstein
If I were not a Jew I would be a Quaker.
Albert Einstein
My scientific work is motivated by an irresistible longing to understand the secrets of nature and by no other feeling. My love for justice and striving to contribute towards the improvement of human conditions are quite independent from my scientific interests.
Albert Einstein
The daily struggle does not arise from a purpose or a program, but from an immediate need.
Albert Einstein
How many people are trapped in their everyday habits: part numb, part frightened, part indifferent? To have a better life we must keep choosing how we are living.
Albert Einstein
The economists will have to revise their theories of value.
Albert Einstein
The health of society thus depends quite as much on the independence of the individuals composing it as on their close political cohesion.
Albert Einstein
Anyone can repeat a technical explanation they read in a text-book or blog post.
Albert Einstein
The theoretical idea ... does not arise apart from and independent of experience nor can it be derived from experience by a purely logical procedure. It is produced by a creative act. Once a theoretical idea has been acquired, one does well to hold fast to it until it leads to an untenable conclusion.
Albert Einstein
I think 99 times and find nothing. I stop thinking, swim in the silence, and the truth comes to me.
Albert Einstein
Never underestimate your own ignorance.
Albert Einstein
Scientists were rated as great heretics by the church, but they were truly religious men because of their faith in the orderliness of the universe.
Albert Einstein
...the physicist cannot simply surrender to the philosopher the critical contemplation of the theoretical foundations for, he himself knows best, and feels more surely where the shoe pinches...Physical conceptions are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world.
Albert Einstein
The hardest thing to understand in the world is the income tax.
Albert Einstein
There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance.
Albert Einstein
We must recognize what in our accepted tradition is damaging to our fate and dignity-and shape our lives accordingly.
Albert Einstein
Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.
Albert Einstein
The mind can proceed only so far upon what it knows and can prove. There comes a point where the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge, but can never prove how it got there. All great discoveries have involved such a leap
Albert Einstein
Life is like riding a bicycle. If you want to stay balanced you've got to keep moving forward.
Albert Einstein
