Image
He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead his eyes are closed.
Albert Einstein
Image
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
Albert Einstein
Image
There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle you can live as if everything is a miracle.
Albert Einstein
Image
A man's ethical behaviour should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
Albert Einstein
Image
Time and space are not conditions of existence, time and space is a model for thinking
Albert Einstein
Image
It was the experience of mystery - even if mixed with fear - that engendered religion.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have made no secret, either privately or publicly, of any sense of outrage over officially enforced military and war service. I regard it as a duty of conscience to fight against such barbarous enslavement of the individual with every means available.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am absolutely convinced that no wealth in the world can help humanity forward, even in the hands of the most devoted worker in this cause. The example of great and pure characters is the only thing that can produce fine ideas and noble deeds. Money only appeals to selfishness and always tempts its owners irresistibly to abuse it
Albert Einstein
Image
Curiosity is its own reason.
Albert Einstein
Image
Your ancestors dragged these black people from their homes by force and in the white man's quest for wealth and an easy life they have been ruthlessly suppressed and exploited, degraded into slavery. The modern prejudice against Negroes is the result of the desire to maintain this unworthy condition.
Albert Einstein
Image
Persistence is the most powerful force on earth, it can move mountains.
Albert Einstein
Image
I believe, indeed, that overemphasis on the purely intellectual attitude, often directed solely to the practical and factual, in our education, has led directly to the impairment of ethical values.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene….No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus.
Albert Einstein
Image
One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.
Albert Einstein
Image
Those instrumental goods which should serve to maintain the life and health of all human beings should be produced by the least possible labour of all.
Albert Einstein
Image
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
Image
I consider it important, indeed urgently necessary, for intellectual workers to get together, both to protect their own economic status and, also, generally speaking, to secure their influence in the political field.
Albert Einstein
Image
As to science, we may well define it for our purpose as methodical thinking directed toward finding regulative connections between our sensual experiences.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have to apologize to you that I am still among the living. There will be a remedy for this, however.
Albert Einstein
Image
My success wasn't so much due to intelligence, but the fact that I stuck with problems longer.
Albert Einstein
