Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.
Albert Einstein

One picture is worth a thousand words
Albert Einstein

Everything that exists in your life, does so because of two things: something you did or something you didn't do.
Albert Einstein
Image
Try not to become a man of success, but a man of value. Look around at how people want to get more out of life than they put in. A man of value will give more than he receives. Be creative, but make sure that what you create is not a curse for mankind.
Albert Einstein

An attempt at visualizing the Fourth Dimension: Take a point, stretch it into a line, curl it into a circle, twist it into a sphere, and punch through the sphere.

God reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists.
Albert Einstein

So would a Being, endowed with higher insight and more perfect intelligence, watching man and his doings, smile about man's illusion that he was acting according to his own free will.
Albert Einstein
Image
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms.

My pacifism is not based on any intellectual theory but on a deep antipathy to every form of cruelty and hatred.
Albert Einstein
Image
One ought to be ashamed to make use of the wonders of science embodied in a radio set, the while appreciating them as little as a cow appreciates the botanic marvels in the plants she munches.
Albert Einstein
Image
Why does this magnificent applied science which saves work and makes life easier bring us so little happiness? ... The simple answer runs: 'Because we have not yet learned to make sensible use of it.'
Albert Einstein
Image
Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.

Go out as far as you can go and start from there
Albert Einstein
Image
Through the release of atomic energy, our generation has brought into the world the most revolutionary force since prehistoric man's discovery of fire. This basic force of the universe cannot be fitted into the outmoded concept of narrow nationalisms.
Albert Einstein
Image
The idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I am unable to take seriously.
Albert Einstein
Image
The state exists for man, not man for the state. The same may be said of science. These are old phrases, coined by people who saw in human individuality the highest human value. I would hesitate to repeat them, were it not for the ever recurring danger that they may be forgotten, especially in these days of organization and stereotypes.

For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions.
Albert Einstein
Image
Marvellous, what ideas the young people have these days. But I don't believe a word of it.
Albert Einstein
Image
Time has no independent existence apart from the order of events by which we measure it.
Albert Einstein

It's no accident that capitalism has brought with it progress, not merely in production but also in knowledge. Egoism and competition are, alas, stronger forces than public spirit and sense of duty.
