More quotes by Albert Einstein
I like neither new clothes nor new kinds of food.
Albert Einstein
Discussion and argument are essential parts of science the greatest talent is the ability to strip a theory until the simple basic idea emerges with clarity.
Albert Einstein
Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.
Albert Einstein
The future is of greater interest to me than the past, since that is where I intend to spend the rest of my life.
Albert Einstein
To act intelligently in human affairs is only possible if an attempt is made to understand the thoughts, motives, and apprehension of one's opponent so fully that one can see the world through their eyes.
Albert Einstein
I consider it important, indeed urgently necessary, for intellectual workers to get together, both to protect their own economic status and, also, generally speaking, to secure their influence in the political field.
Albert Einstein
Truly novel inventions emerge only in one's youth. Later one becomes ever more experienced, famous-and foolish.
Albert Einstein
The discovery of nuclear chain reactions need not bring about the destruction of mankind any more than did the discovery of matches.

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
Chess holds its master in its own bonds, shackling the mind and brain so that the inner freedom of the very strongest must suffer.
Albert Einstein
The thinking that got us to where we are is not the thinking that will get us to where we want to be.
Albert Einstein
My scientific work is motivated by an irresistible longing to understand the secrets of nature not by other feelings.
Albert Einstein
If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor. On being reproached that his formula of gravitation was longer and more cumbersome than Newton's.
Albert Einstein
The genius is in making the complex simple.
Albert Einstein
I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it elegantly.
Albert Einstein
To know what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty... this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness.
Albert Einstein
Either CS (coordinate system) could be used with equal justification. The two sentences: the sun is at rest and the earth moves, or the sun moves and the earth is at rest, would simply mean two different conventions concerning two different CS
Albert Einstein
Why should i remember anything if i can just look it up?
Albert Einstein
Only six men in the world know about relativity. I am not one of them. When I ask them to explain, they confused me.
Albert Einstein
Any fool can know. The point is to understand.
Albert Einstein
