Work is the only thing I do to escape the corruption of praise.
Albert Einstein
Image
Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.
Albert Einstein
Image
Political leaders or governments owe their position partly to force and partly to popular election. They cannot be regarded as representative of best elements, morally or intellectually, in their respective nations.
Albert Einstein
Image
But nature did not deem it her business to make the discovery of her laws easy for us.
Albert Einstein
Image
When forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence: Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter.
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'm no more intelligent than the next guy. I'm just more curious.
Albert Einstein
Image
If I had my life to live over again, I would elect to be a trader of goods rather than a student of science. I think barter is a noble thing.
Albert Einstein
Image
In the midst of difficulty lies opportunity.
Albert Einstein
Image
If you want different results, do not do the same things.
Albert Einstein
Image
Art is standing with one hand extended into the universe and one hand extended into the world, and letting ourselves be a conduit for passing energy.
Albert Einstein
Image
Everyone has two choices. We're either full of love... or full of fear.
Albert Einstein
Image
Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.
Albert Einstein
Image
If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.
Albert Einstein
Image
The release of atomic power has changed everything except our way of thinking ... the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker. (1945)
Albert Einstein
Image
Remember today, for it is the beginning of always. Today marks the start of a brave new future filled with all your dreams can hold. Think truly to the future and make those dreams come true.
Albert Einstein
Image
Learn from yesterday, live for today.
Albert Einstein
Image
...behind all the discernible laws and connections, there remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable.
Albert Einstein
Image
Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone.
Albert Einstein
Image
A country cannot simultaneously prepare and prevent war. I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. The distinctions separating the social classes are false in the last analysis they rest on force.
