Past is dead Future is uncertain Present is all you have, So eat, drink and live merry.
Albert Einstein

I live my daydreams in music.
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
Image
It is open to every man to choose the direction of his striving and also every man may draw comfort from Lessing's fine saying, that the search for truth is more precious than its possession.
Albert Einstein
Image
The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. It is the source of all true art and science. He who knows it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle.
Albert Einstein

It is important to foster individuality, for only the individual can produce the new ideas.
Albert Einstein
Image
When the nazis came to power, I looked to the universities that prided themselves upon their intellectual freedom, and they failed me. I looked to the German press, which prided itself on the freedom of the press, and it failed me. Until at last the churches stood alone, and that for which I once had little regard earned my respect.

Dear Habicht, / Such a solemn air of silence has descended between us that I almost feel as if I am committing a sacrilege when I break it now with some inconsequential babble... / What are you up to, you frozen whale, you smoked, dried, canned piece of soul...?
Albert Einstein

The daily struggle does not arise from a purpose or a program, but from an immediate need.
Albert Einstein
Image
How can any educated person stay away from the Greeks? I have always been far more interested in them than in science.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is a very high goal which, with our weak powers, we can reach only very inadequately, but which gives a sure foundation to our aspirations and valuations.
Albert Einstein
Image
Mankind invented the atomic bomb, but no mouse would ever construct a mousetrap.
Albert Einstein
Image
If I were to start taking care of my grooming, I would no longer be my own self... so the hell with it... I will continue to be unconcerned about it, which surely has the advantage that I'm left in peace by many a fop who would otherwise come to see me.
Albert Einstein

My only genius talent is inquisitiveness.
Albert Einstein
Image
The point is to develop the childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition and to guide the child over to important fields for society. Such a school demands from the teacher that he be a kind of artist in his province.
Albert Einstein

Imagination is more valuable than information.
Albert Einstein

I believe that Gandhi’s views were the most enlightened of all the political men of our time.

If you want to know the future, look at the past.
Albert Einstein

People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.

Intelligent life on other planets? I'm not even sure there is on earth!
