More quotes by Albert Einstein
Physics is an attempt conceptually to grasp reality as something that is considered to be independent of its being observed. In this sense one speaks of physical reality.
Albert Einstein
Often in evolutionary processes a species must adapt to new conditions in order to survive. Today the atomic bomb has altered profoundly the nature of the world as we know it, and the human race consequently finds itself in a new habitat to which it must adapt its thinking.
Albert Einstein
Although I cannot believe that the individual survives the death of his body, feeble souls harbor such thought through fear or ridiculous egotism.
Albert Einstein
I know quite certainly that I myself have no special talent curiosity, obsession and dogged endurance, combined with self-criticism, have brought me to my ideas.
Albert Einstein
Fear or stupidity has always been the basis of most human actions.
Albert Einstein
I cannot seriously believe in it [quantum theory] because the theory cannot be reconciled with the idea that physics should represent a reality in time and space, free from spooky actions at a distance [spukhafte Fernwirkungen].
Albert Einstein
Success = 1 part work + 1 part play + 1 part keep your mouth shut
Albert Einstein
Insofar as we may at all claim that slavery has been abolished today, we owe its abolition to the practical consequences of science
Albert Einstein
[Newton wrote to Halley ... that he would not give Hooke any credit] That, alas, is vanity. You find it in so many scientists. You know, it has always hurt me to think that Galileo did not acknowledge the work of Kepler.
Albert Einstein
The greater the doubt, the greater the awakening
Albert Einstein
On the other hand, although I have a regular work schedule, I take time to go for long walks on the beach so that I can listen to what is going on inside my head. If my work isn't going well, I lie down in the middle of a workday and gaze at the ceiling while I listen and visualize what goes on in my imagination.
Albert Einstein
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.
Albert Einstein
The truth of a theory is in your mind, not in your eyes.
Albert Einstein
You cannot love a car the way you love a horse. The horse brings out human feelings the way machines cannot do. Things like machines may develop or neglect certain things in people ... Machines make our life impersonal and stultify certain elements in us and create an impersonal environment.
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
Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.
Albert Einstein
No worthy problem is ever solved within the plane of its original conception.
Albert Einstein
One must take what nature gives as one finds it.
Albert Einstein
The idea of achieving security through national armament is, at the present state of military technique, a disastrous illusion.
Albert Einstein
The religion of the future will be cosmic religion. It will transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology.
Albert Einstein
