No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.
Albert Einstein
Image
Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing that is something, wearing stripes with plaid comes easy.
Albert Einstein
Image
The world is a dangerous place to live not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is harder to crack prejudice than an atom.
Albert Einstein
Image
Know where to find the information and how to use it - That's the secret of success.
Albert Einstein
Image
When the solution is simple, God is answering.
Albert Einstein

Time flies when you are having fun.
Albert Einstein
Image
The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything except our thinking. Thus, we are drifting toward catastrophe beyond conception. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have become an obstinate heretic in the eyes of my colleagues. Momentary success carries more power of conviction than reflections upon principles.
Albert Einstein
Image
I see only with deep regret that God punishes so many of His children for their numerous stupidities, for which only He Himself can be held responsible in my opinion, only His nonexistence could excuse Him.
Albert Einstein
Image
I wouldn't want to live if I did not have my work. In any case, it's good that I'm already old and personally don't have to count on a prolonged future.
Albert Einstein
Image
I agree with your remark about loving your enemy as far as actions are concerned. But for me the cognitive basis is the trust in an unrestricted causality. 'I cannot hate him, because he must do what he does.' That means for me more Spinoza than the prophets.
Albert Einstein
Image
The feeling for what ought and ought not to be grows and dies like a tree, and no fertilizer of any kind will do much good. What the individual can do is give a fine example, and have the courage to firmly uphold ethical convictions in a society of cynics. I have for a long time tried to conduct myself this way, with varying success.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have made no secret, either privately or publicly, of any sense of outrage over officially enforced military and war service. I regard it as a duty of conscience to fight against such barbarous enslavement of the individual with every means available.
Albert Einstein
Image
Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.
Albert Einstein
Image
True knowledge comes with deep understanding of a topic and its inner workings.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is also a natural thing for a serious young man that he should form for himself as precise an idea as possible of the goal of his desires.
Albert Einstein
Image
The development of general ability for independent thinking and judgment should always be placed foremost, not the acquisition of special knowledge.
Albert Einstein
Image
The state is made for man, not man for the state.... That is to say, the state should be our servant and not we its slaves
Albert Einstein
Image
Life is sacred, that is to say, it is the supreme value, to which all other values are subordinate.
Albert Einstein
