More quotes by Albert Einstein
Genius is when an idea and the execution of that idea are simultaneous.
Albert Einstein
The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which he has attained liberation from the self.
Albert Einstein
We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.
Albert Einstein
One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.
Albert Einstein
The flag is a symbol of the fact that man is still a herd animal.
Albert Einstein
The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.
Albert Einstein
That a man can take pleasure in marching in formation to the strains of a band is enough to make me despise him. He has only been given his big brain by mistake a backbone was all he needed.
Albert Einstein
If you can't explain something simply, you don't know enough about it.
Albert Einstein
When I was young I found out that the big toe always ends up making a hole in a sock. So I stopped wearing socks.
Albert Einstein
Jesus is too colossal for the pen of phrasemongers, however artful. No man can dispose of Christianity with a bon mot
Albert Einstein
Not all things worth counting are countable and not all things that count are worth counting.
Albert Einstein
Know where to find the information and how to use it - That's the secret of success.
Albert Einstein
For an idea that does not first seem insane, there is no hope.
Albert Einstein
A man has to work so hard so that something of his personality stays alive. A tomcat has it so easy, he has only to spray and his presence is there for years on rainy days.
Albert Einstein
Incompetence is the true crisis.
Albert Einstein
There is no scientific antidote, only education. You've got to change the way people think. I am not interested in disarmament talks between nations . . . What I want to do is to disarm the mind. After that, everything else will automatically follow. The ultimate weapon for such mental disarmament is international education.
Albert Einstein
Unless the cause of peace based on law gathers behind it the force and zeal of a religion, it hardly can hope to succeed.
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
[Kepler] had to realize clearly that logical-mathematical theoretizing, no matter how lucid, could not guarantee truth by itself that the most beautiful logical theory means nothing in natural science without comparison with the exactest experience. Without this philosophic attitude, his work would not have been possible.
Albert Einstein
The future is an unknown, but a somewhat predictable unknown. To look to the future we must first look back upon the past. That is where the seeds of the future were planted. I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.
Albert Einstein
