Imagination Is More Powerful Than Knowledge Because Knowledhe Is Limited But Imagination Is Without Boundaries
Albert Einstein

Unless Americans come to realize that they are not stronger in the world because they have the bomb but weaker because of their vulnerability to atomic attack, they are not likely to conduct their policy at Lake Success [the United Nations] or in their relations with Russia in a spirit that furthers the arrival at an understanding.
Albert Einstein
Image
There is no greater satisfaction for a just and well-meaning person than the knowledge that he has devoted his best energies to the service of the good cause.
Albert Einstein
Image
Only in mathematics and physics was I, through self-study, far beyond the school curriculum, and also with regard to philosophy as it was taught in the school curriculum.
Albert Einstein
Image
What I seek to accomplish is simply to serve with my feeble capacity truth and justice, at the risk of pleasing no one.
Albert Einstein
Image
The greatest activity of which man is capable: Opening up yet another fragment of the frontier of beauty.
Albert Einstein
Image
It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.
Albert Einstein

It is impossible to get anywhere without sinning against reason.
Albert Einstein
Image
I was sitting in a chair in the patent office at Bern when all of a sudden a thought occurred to me: If a person falls freely he will not feel his own weight. I was startled. This simple thought made a deep impression on me. It impelled me toward a theory of gravitation.

I can understand your aversion to the use of the term 'religion' to describe an emotional and psychological attitude which shows itself most clearly in Spinoza... I have not found a better expression than 'religious' for the trust in the rational nature of reality that is, at least to a certain extent, accessible to human reason.
Albert Einstein
Image
It strikes me as unfair, and even in bad taste, to select a few of them for boundless admiration, attributing superhuman powers of mind and character to them. This has been my fate, and the contrast between the popular estimate of my powers and achievements and the reality is simply grotesque.
Albert Einstein
Image
Do not grow old, no matter how long you live. Never cease to stand like curious children before the Great Mystery into which we were born.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is a very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty.
Albert Einstein
Image
Now to the term 'relativity theory.' I admit that it is unfortunate, and has given occasion to philosophical misunderstandings.
Albert Einstein
Image
Life is a preparation for the future and the best preparation for the future is to live as if there were none.
Albert Einstein
Image
The words of language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my mechanism of thought. The physical entities which seem to serve as elements in thought are certain signs and more or less clear images.
Albert Einstein
Image
Overemphasis of the competitive system and premature specialization on the ground of immediate usefulness kill the spirit on which all cultural life depends, specialized knowledge included.
Albert Einstein
Image
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
Image
The restriction of knowledge to an elite group destroys the spirit of the society and leads to its intellectual impoverishment.
Albert Einstein
Image
It may affront the military-minded person to suggest a regime that does not maintain any military secrets.
