There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance.
Albert Einstein
Image
When I study philosophical works I feel I am swallowing something which I don't have in my mouth.
Albert Einstein
Image
I believe that the horrifying deterioration in the ethical conduct of people today stems from the mechanization and dehumanization of our lives. A disastrous by-product of the development of the scientific and technical mentality. We are guilty. Man grows cold faster than the planet he inhabits.
Albert Einstein
Image
Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.
Albert Einstein
Image
Except in mathematics, the shortest distance between point A and point B is seldom a straight line. I don't believe in mathematics.
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.

What physics looks for: The simplest possible system of thought which will bind together the observed facts.

[When asked Dr. Einstein, why is it that when the mind of man has stretched so far as to discover the structure of the atom we have been unable to devise the political means to keep the atom from destroying us?] That is simple, my friend. It is because politics is more difficult than physics.
Albert Einstein

It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living, by its purely physical effect on the human temperament, would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind.
Albert Einstein
Image
An oligarchy of private capital cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society because under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information.
Albert Einstein
Image
An autocratic system of coercion, in my opinion, soon degenerates. For force always attracts men of low morality, and I believe it to be an invariable rule that tyrants of genius are succeeded by scoundrels. For this reason I have always been passionately opposed to systems such as we see in Italy and Russia to-day.
Albert Einstein

There is an atmosphere of well-sounding oratory that likes to attach itself to dress clothes. Away with it!
Albert Einstein
Image
Fortunate Newton, happy childhood of science. Nature to him was an open book. He stands before us strong, certain, and alone.
Albert Einstein
Image
Small is the number of people who see with their eyes and think with their minds.
Albert Einstein
Image
Let every man judge according to his own standards, by what he has himself read, not by what others tell him.
Albert Einstein
Image
As an elderly man, I have remained estranged from the society here.
Albert Einstein
Image
Hail to the man who went through life always helping others, knowing no fear, and to whom aggressiveness and resentment are alien. Such is the stuff of which the great moral leaders are made.
Albert Einstein
Image
Never lose a holy curiosity. Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value. He is considered successful in our day who gets more out of life than he puts in. But a man of value will give more than he receives.
Albert Einstein

The idea of a personal God is quite alien to me and seems even naïve.

I refuse to make money out of my science. My laurel is not for sale like so many bales of cotton.
