If one studies too zealously, one easily loses his pants.
Albert Einstein

The opinion prevailed among advanced minds that it was time that belief should be replaced increasingly by knowledge belief that did not itself rest on knowledge was superstition, and as such had to be opposed.
Albert Einstein

Whether or not you can observe a thing depends upon the theory you use. It is the theory which decides what can be observed.

If I am right the Germans will say I was a German, and the French will say I was a Jew If I am wrong the Germans will say I was a Jew and the French will say I was a German.

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?

One cannot deal with a problem with the same thinking that creates it.
Albert Einstein
Image
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
Albert Einstein
Image
I see a pattern, but my imagination cannot picture the maker of that pattern. I see a clock, but I cannot envision the clockmaker. The human mind is unable to conceive of the four dimensions, so how can it conceive of a God, before whom a thousand years and a thousand dimensions are as one?
Albert Einstein
Image
Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.
Albert Einstein

Peace cannot be kept by force it can only be achieved by understanding.
Albert Einstein

Even if you have to go through hell - go without hesitation.
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.

A new idea comes suddenly and in a rather intuitive way, but intuition is nothing but the outcome of earlier intellectual experience.

One should respect an honest person even if he expresses opinions differing from one's own.
