More quotes by Albert Einstein
A new idea comes suddenly and in a rather intuitive way, but intuition is nothing but the outcome of earlier intellectual experience.
Albert Einstein
If I had an hour to solve a problem I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.
Albert Einstein
If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare me a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German, and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.
Albert Einstein
One has to realize that the powerful industrial groups concerned in the manufacture of arms are doing their best in all countries to prevent the peaceful settlement of international disputes, and that rulers can achieve this great end only if they are sure of the vigorous support of the majority of their peoples.
Albert Einstein
Our schoolbooks glorify war and conceal its horrors. They indoctrinate children with hatred. I would teach peace rather than war, love rather than hate.
Albert Einstein
I love to travel, but hate to arrive.
Albert Einstein
Don't listen to the person who has the answers listen to the person who has the questions.
Albert Einstein
For the most part, I do the thing which my own nature prompts me to do. It is embarrassing to earn so much respect and love for it.
Albert Einstein
Study and, in general, the pursuit of truth and beauty is the sphere in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives. Study and, in general, the pursuit of truth and beauty is the sphere in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.
Albert Einstein
The trouble with the younger generation is that they don't stay young for very long.
Albert Einstein
Intelligent life on other planets? I'm not even sure there is on earth!
Albert Einstein
History is littered with examples of men who would become gods, but only one example of God becoming Man.
Albert Einstein
For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions.
Albert Einstein
When you won't be able to describe it simply just, you don't are aware of it well sufficient.
Albert Einstein
By an application of the theory of relativity to the taste of readers, today in Germany I am called a German man of science, and in England I am represented as a Swiss Jew. If I come to be represented as a bête noire, the descriptions will be reversed, and I shall become a Swiss Jew for the Germans and a German man of science for the English!
Albert Einstein
Relativity teaches us the connection between the different descriptions of one and the same reality.
Albert Einstein
Unless Americans come to realize that they are not stronger in the world because they have the bomb but weaker because of their vulnerability to atomic attack, they are not likely to conduct their policy at Lake Success [the United Nations] or in their relations with Russia in a spirit that furthers the arrival at an understanding.
Albert Einstein
No matter how we may single out a complex from nature...its theoretical treatment will never prove to be ultimately conclusive... I believe that this process of deepening of theory has no limits.
Albert Einstein
It is enough for me to contemplate the mystery of conscious life perpetuating itself through all eternity, to reflect upon the marvelous structure of the universe which we dimly perceive, and to try humbly to comprehend an infinitesimal part of the intelligence manifested in nature.
Albert Einstein
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Albert Einstein
