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
Just as with the man in the fairy tale who turned whatever he touched into gold, with me everything is turned into newspaper clamor.
Albert Einstein
The foundation of morality should not be made dependent on myth nor tied to any authority lest doubt about the myth or about the legitimacy of the authority imperil the foundation of sound judgment and action.
Albert Einstein
It is harder to crack prejudice than an atom.
Albert Einstein
Everyone likes me, yet nobody understands me.
Albert Einstein
One may say the eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility.
Albert Einstein
A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of others.
Albert Einstein
...the physicist cannot simply surrender to the philosopher the critical contemplation of the theoretical foundations for, he himself knows best, and feels more surely where the shoe pinches...Physical conceptions are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world.
Albert Einstein
My position concerning God is that of an agnostic. I am convinced that a vivid consciousness of the primary importance of moral principles for the betterment and ennoblement of life does not need the idea of a law-giver, especially a law-giver who works on the basis of reward and punishment.
Albert Einstein
Most mistakes in philosophy and logic occur because the human mind is apt to take the symbol for the reality.
Albert Einstein
What can the schools do to defend democracy? Should they preach a specific political doctrine? I believe they should not. If they are able to teach young people to have a critical mind and a socially oriented attitude, they will have done all that is necessary.
Albert Einstein
The important thing is to never stop questioning. Never lose a holy curiosity.
Albert Einstein
As to science, we may well define it for our purpose as methodical thinking directed toward finding regulative connections between our sensual experiences.
Albert Einstein
Man's will, sustained by an indominable conviction, is much more powerful than material forces that seem insurmountable.
Albert Einstein
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Imagination is the language of the soul. Pay attention to your imagination and you will discover all you need to be fulfilled.
Albert Einstein
The thing is, not to stop questioning.
Albert Einstein
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.
Albert Einstein
I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express in words afterwards.
Albert Einstein
Without ethical culture, there is no salvation for humanity.
Albert Einstein
The leader is one who, out of the clutter, brings simplicity... out of discord, harmony... and out of difficulty, opportunity.
Albert Einstein
