More quotes by Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
The Universe is a friendly place.
Albert Einstein
Thus I came...to a deep religiosity, which, however, reached an abrupt end at the age of 12. Through the reading of popular scientific books I soon reached a conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true....Suspicion against every kind of authority grew out of this experience...an attitude which has never left me.
Albert Einstein
I take it to be true that pure thought can grasp the real, as the ancients had dreamed.
Albert Einstein
Our defense is not in our armaments, nor in science, nor in going underground. Our defense is in law and order.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
My deep religiosity [...] found an abrupt ending at the age of twelve, through the reading of popular scientific books.
Albert Einstein
When I have one week to solve a seemingly impossible problem, I spend six days defining the problem. Then, the solution becomes obvious.
Albert Einstein
Somebody who only reads newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who scorns eyeglasses. He is completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of his times, since he never gets to see or hear anything else.
Albert Einstein
I asked myself childish questions and proceeded to answer them.
Albert Einstein
Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn
Albert Einstein
As a human being, one has been endowed with just enough intelligence to be able to see clearly how utterly inadequate that intelligence is when confronted with what exists.
Albert Einstein
Since others have explained my theory, I can no longer understand it myself.
Albert Einstein
