More quotes by Albert Einstein

A successful man is he who receives a great deal from his fellow men, usually incomparably more than corresponds to his service to them. The value of a man, however, should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.

When I study philosophical works I feel I am swallowing something which I don't have in my mouth.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is not by sitting still at a grand distance and calling the human race larvae that men are to be helped.
Albert Einstein

The traditional religions worry me. Their long history proves that they have not understood the meaning of the commandment: Thou shalt not kill. If we want to save this world from unimaginable destruction we should concentrate not on the faraway God , but on the heart of the individual.

To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is a something that our mind cannot grasp and whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly and as a feeble reflection, this is religiousness. In this sense I am religious.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am of the opinion that all the finer speculations in the realm of science spring from a deep religious feeling, and that without such feeling they would not be fruitful.

Growth comes through analogy through seeing how things connect, rather than only seeing how they might be different.

It is little short of a miracle that modern methods of instruction have not already completely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry.... I believe that one could even deprive a healthy beast of prey of its voraciousness if one could force it with a whip to eat continuously whether it were hungry or not.

The definition of genius is taking the complex and making it simple.
Albert Einstein
Image
We should take care not to make the intellect our god it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.

The Universe is stranger than we imagine!

Generations to come will find it difficult to believe that a man such as Gandhi ever walked the face of this earth.
Albert Einstein

It's not that life has been easy, perfect or exactly as expected. I just choose to be happy and grateful no matter how it all turns out. If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.

Vegetarian food leaves a deep impression on our nature. If the whole world adopts vegetarianism, it can change the destiny of humankind.

A conflict arises when a religious community insists on the absolute truthfulness of all statements recorded in the Bible. This means an intervention on the part of religion into the sphere of science this is where the struggle of the Church against doctrines of Galileo and Darwin belongs.
