More quotes by Albert Einstein
As the area of light expands, so does the perimeter of darkness.
Albert Einstein
I am a determinist. As such, I do not believe in free will...Practically, I am, nevertheless, compelled to act as if freedom of the will existed. If I wish to live in a civilized community, I must act as if man is a responsible being.
Albert Einstein
Why do people speak of great men in terms of nationality? Great Germans, great Englishmen? Goethe always protested against being called a German poet. Great men are simply men and are not to be considered from the point of view of nationality, nor should the environment in which they were brought up be taken into account.
Albert Einstein
I came to America because of the great, great freedom which I heard existed in this country. I made a mistake in selecting America as a land of freedom, a mistake I cannot repair in the balance of my lifetime.
Albert Einstein
The future is not a gift-it is an achievement.
Albert Einstein
Life is sacred, that is to say, it is the supreme value, to which all other values are subordinate.
Albert Einstein
Was wirklich zählt, ist Intuition
Albert Einstein
To my mind, to kill in war is not a whit better than to commit ordinary murder.
Albert Einstein
I have little patience with scientists who take a board of wood, look for its thinnest part, and drill a great number of holes where drilling is easy.
Albert Einstein
Science has brought forth this danger, but the real problem is in the minds and hearts of men.
Albert Einstein
If I had only known, I would have been a locksmith.
Albert Einstein
Nothing happens til something moves.
Albert Einstein
When you trip over love, it is easy to get up. But when you fall in love, it is impossible to stand again.
Albert Einstein
I would not think that philosophy and reason themselves will be man's guide in the foreseeable future however, they will remain the most beautiful sanctuary they have always been for the select few.
Albert Einstein
Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.
Albert Einstein
Only a very dull man spells a word the same way twice.
Albert Einstein
The greatest scientists are artists as well.
Albert Einstein
The place of the expert is on tap not on top.
Albert Einstein
I cannot write in English, because of the treacherous spelling. When I am reading, I only hear it and am unable to remember what the written word looks like.
Albert Einstein
Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.
Albert Einstein
