More quotes by Albert Einstein
The discovery of nuclear chain reactions need not bring about the destruction of mankind any more than did the discovery of matches. We only must do everything in our power to safeguard against its abuse. Only a supranational organization, equipped with a sufficiently strong executive power, can protect us.
Albert Einstein
We have penetrated far less deeply into the regularities obtaining within the realm of living things, but deeply enough nevertheless to sense at least the rule of fixed necessity... what is still lacking here is a grasp of the connections of profound generality, but not a knowledge of order itself.
Albert Einstein
Then there are the fanatical atheists whose intolerance is of the same kind as the intolerance of the religious fanatics and comes from the same source.
Albert Einstein
A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin what else does a man need to be happy.
Albert Einstein
In my personal experience I have hardly come to know the wretchedness of mankind better than as a result of the general theory of relativity and everything connected to it. But it doesn't bother me.
Albert Einstein
This is a time, when there seems to be a particular need for friends of wisdom and truth to join together.
Albert Einstein
There have already been published by the bucketsful such brazen lies and utter fictions about me that I would long since have gone to my grave if I had allowed myself to pay attention to them.
Albert Einstein
The emotional state that leads to achievements resembles that of a worshiper or the lover.
Albert Einstein
Berlin is the place to which I am most closely bound by human and scientific ties.
Albert Einstein
We should take care not to make the intellect our god it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.
Albert Einstein
I don't believe in mathematics.
Albert Einstein
If I had foreseen Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I would have torn up my formula in 1905.
Albert Einstein
Happiness, as a pursuit, is suitable only for pigs.
Albert Einstein
Show me a satisfied man, and I'll show you a failure.
Albert Einstein
I now see the necessity of a beginning.
Albert Einstein
The Nuremberg Trial of the German war criminals was tacitly based on the recognition of the principle: criminal actions cannot be excused if committed on government orders conscience supersedes the authority of the law of the state.
Albert Einstein
Consider the concepts referred to in the words 'where', 'when', 'why', 'being', to the elucidation of which innumerable volumes of philosophy have been devoted. We fare no better in our speculations than a fish which should strive to become clear as to what is water.
Albert Einstein
I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves. This ethical basis I call the ideal of the pigsty.
Albert Einstein
The more one chases the quanta, the better they hide themselves.
Albert Einstein
The idle man does not know what it is to enjoy rest.
Albert Einstein
