More quotes by Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
Nothing truly valuable arises from ambition or from a mere sense of duty it stems rather from love and devotion towards men and towards objective things.
Albert Einstein
Well-being and happiness never appeared to me as an absolute aim. I am even inclined to compare such moral aims to the ambitions of a pig.
Albert Einstein
Mere thinking cannot reveal to us the highest purpose.
Albert Einstein
My only refuge, as a serious young man, from the despair of my financial burden to my family, is that I did everything I could to never permit myself any amusements or diversions except those afforded by my studies.
Albert Einstein
The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.
Albert Einstein
I assert that the cosmic religious experience is the strongest and the noblest driving force behind scientific research.
Albert Einstein
I didn't arrive at my understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe through my rational mind.
Albert Einstein
God is a scientist, not a magician.
Albert Einstein
[Newton wrote to Halley ... that he would not give Hooke any credit] That, alas, is vanity. You find it in so many scientists. You know, it has always hurt me to think that Galileo did not acknowledge the work of Kepler.
Albert Einstein
Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.
Albert Einstein
In living through this great epoch, it is difficult to reconcile oneself to the fact that one belongs to that mad, degenerate species that boasts of its free will. How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will. In such a place even I should be an ardent patriot!
Albert Einstein
I cannot write in English, because of the treacherous spelling. When I am reading, I only hear it and am unable to remember what the written word looks like.
Albert Einstein
To me it is enough to wonder at the secrets
Albert Einstein
I am a determinist. As such, I do not believe in free will. The Jews believe in free will. They believe that man shapes his own life. I reject that doctrine philosophically. In that respect I am not a Jew.
Albert Einstein
We are all very ignorant. What happens is that not all ignore the same things.
Albert Einstein
You are right in speaking of the moral foundations of science, but you cannot turn around and speak of the scientific foundations of morality.
Albert Einstein
Since 99.362% of women love mustache rides, it seems only a fool would have a bare upper lip.
Albert Einstein
It is better to believe than to disbelieve in doing you bring everything to the realm of possibility.
Albert Einstein
People should be more like animals . . . they should be more intuitive they should not be too conscious of what they do while they do it.
Albert Einstein
