More quotes by Albert Einstein
For science can only ascertain what is, but not what should be, and outside of its domain value judgments of all kinds remain necessary. Religion, on the other hand, deals only with evaluations of human thought and action: it cannot justifiably speak of facts and relationships between facts.
Albert Einstein
I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves. An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension, nor do I wish it otherwise such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls.
Albert Einstein
Epistemology without contact with science becomes an empty scheme. Science without epistemology is-insofar as it is thinkable at all-primitive and muddled.
Albert Einstein
Insofar as we may at all claim that slavery has been abolished today, we owe its abolition to the practical consequences of science
Albert Einstein
With me every peep becomes a trumpet solo.
Albert Einstein
No one does anything right in life, until they realize that they are making a mistake
Albert Einstein
What is essential in the life of a man of my kind is what he thinks and how he thinks, and not what he does or suffers.
Albert Einstein
I know that the most joy in my life has come to me from my violin.
Albert Einstein
Nothing causes more consternation in a group of hypocrits than one honest man.
Albert Einstein
You can't solve your problems by using the same thinking that got you into those problems in the first place.
Albert Einstein
The creative principle [of science] resides in mathematics.
Albert Einstein
It is characteristic of the military mentality that non-human factors ... are held essential, while the human being, his desires and thoughts-in short, the psychological factors-are considered as unimportant and secondary.
Albert Einstein
I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it elegantly.
Albert Einstein
Infinite striving to be the best is man's duty It is its own reward. Everything else is in god's hands. It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.
Albert Einstein
I hate all the loathsome nonsense that goes with patriotism.
Albert Einstein
Everyone must become their own person, however frightful that may be.
Albert Einstein
I have reached the conviction that the abolition of the death penalty is desirable. Reasons: 1) Irreparability in the event of an error of justice, 2) Detrimental moral influence of the execution procedure on those who, whether directly or indirectly, have to do with the procedure.
Albert Einstein
I do not play games. There is not time for it. When I get through with work, I don't want anything that requires the working of the mind.
Albert Einstein
We [Jews] have no other means of self-defense than our solidarity
Albert Einstein
I don't try to imagine a personal God it suffices to stand in awe at the structure of the world, insofar as it allows our inadequate senses to appreciate it.
Albert Einstein
