More quotes by Albert Einstein
It is only to the individual that a soul is given.
Albert Einstein
It is harder to crack prejudice than an atom.
Albert Einstein
My interest in science was always essentially limited to the study of principles.... That I have published so little is due to this same circumstance, as the great need to grasp principles has caused me to spend most of my time on fruitless pursuits.
Albert Einstein
Even a fool is wise after an event.
Albert Einstein
The equation for ego is: One over Knowledge.
Albert Einstein
Engineering is not only study of 45 subjects but it is moral studies of intellectual life. Make things as simple as possible..but not simpler.
Albert Einstein
I have become rather like King Midas, except that everything turns not into gold but into a circus.
Albert Einstein
Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.
Albert Einstein
It is quite clear to me that the religious paradise of youth, which [I] lost, was a first attempt to free myself from the chains of the 'merely personal,' from an existence which is dominated by wishes, hopes, and primitive feelings.
Albert Einstein
I am not a positivist. Positivism states that what cannot be observed does not exist. This conception is scientifically indefensible, for it is impossible to make valid affirmations of what people 'can' or 'cannot' observe. One would have to say 'only what we observe exists,' which is obviously false.
Albert Einstein
Imagination rules the earth
Albert Einstein
What can the schools do to defend democracy? Should they preach a specific political doctrine? I believe they should not. If they are able to teach young people to have a critical mind and a socially oriented attitude, they will have done all that is necessary.
Albert Einstein
If I were to remain silent, I'd be guilty of complicity.
Albert Einstein
The ability to portray people in still life and in motion requires the highest measure of intuition and talent.
Albert Einstein
Don't do anything that goes against your conscience, even if your country says so.
Albert Einstein
The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.
Albert Einstein
Human knowledge and skills alone cannot lead humanity to a happy and dignified life. Humanity has every reason to place the proclaimers of high moral standards and values above the discoverers of objective truth.
Albert Einstein
The stakes are immense, the task colossal, the time is short. But we may hope - we must hope - that man's own creation, man's own genius, will not destroy him.
Albert Einstein
If I would follow your advice and Jesus could perceive it, he, as a Jewish teacher, surely would not approve of such behavior.
Albert Einstein
You believe in a god that plays dice I believe in law & order.
Albert Einstein
