I believe my theory of relativity to be true. But it will only be proved for certain in 1981, when I am dead.
Albert Einstein
Image
It would of course be a great step forward if we succeeded in combining the gravitational field and the electromagnetic field into a single structure. Only so could the era in theoretical physics inaugurated by Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell be brought to a satisfactory close.
Albert Einstein
Image
How was I able to live alone before, my little everything? Without you I lack self-confidence, passion for work, and enjoyment of life--in short, without you, my life is no life. [Written to his wife, Mileva]
Albert Einstein
Image
As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is our American habit if we find the foundations of our educational structure unsatisfactory to add another story or wing.
Albert Einstein
Image
Something deeply hidden had to be behind things.
Albert Einstein
Image
We are all very ignorant. What happens is that not all ignore the same things.
Albert Einstein
Image
I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being.
Albert Einstein

The satisfaction of physical needs is indeed the indispensable pre-condition of a satisfactory existence, but in itself it is not enough. In order to be content, men must also have the possibility of developing their intellectual and artistic powers to whatever extent accords with their personal characteristics and abilities.
Albert Einstein
Image
Infinite striving to be the best is man's duty It is its own reward. Everything else is in god's hands. It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.
Albert Einstein
Image
As long as I have any choice in the matter, I shall live only in a country where civil liberty, tolerance and equality of all citizens before the law prevail.
Albert Einstein
Image
On the other hand, although I have a regular work schedule, I take time to go for long walks on the beach so that I can listen to what is going on inside my head. If my work isn't going well, I lie down in the middle of a workday and gaze at the ceiling while I listen and visualize what goes on in my imagination.
Albert Einstein

To see with one's own eyes, to feel and judge without succumbing to the suggestive power of the fashion of the day, to be able to express what one has seen and felt in a snappy sentence or even in a cunningly wrought word - is that not glorious? Is it not a proper subject for congregation?
Albert Einstein
Image
You ask me if I keep a notebook to record my great ideas. I've only ever had one.
Albert Einstein
Image
What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the World.
Albert Einstein

The most precious things in life are not those you get for money.
Albert Einstein
Image
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
Image
If we think of the field as being removed, there is no 'space' which remains, since space does not have an independent existence.
Albert Einstein

I never said half the crap people said I did.
Albert Einstein

Engineering is not only study of 45 subjects but it is moral studies of intellectual life. Make things as simple as possible..but not simpler.
