More quotes by Albert Einstein

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
You cannot love a car the way you love a horse. The horse brings out human feelings the way machines cannot do. Things like machines may develop or neglect certain things in people ... Machines make our life impersonal and stultify certain elements in us and create an impersonal environment.
Albert Einstein
In living through this great epoch, it is difficult to reconcile oneself to the fact that one belongs to that mad, degenerate species that boasts of its free will. How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will. In such a place even I should be an ardent patriot!
Albert Einstein
God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically.
Albert Einstein
Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
Albert Einstein
Innovation is everyones responsibility, not just R&Ds.
Albert Einstein
Be a loner. That gives you time to wonder, to search for the truth. Have holy curiosity. Make your life worth living.
Albert Einstein
Conceptions without experience are void experience without conceptions is blind.
Albert Einstein
I have reached the conviction that the abolition of the death penalty is desirable. Reasons: 1) Irreparability in the event of an error of justice, 2) Detrimental moral influence of the execution procedure on those who, whether directly or indirectly, have to do with the procedure.
Albert Einstein
Time and space are modes by which we think and not conditions in which we live.
Albert Einstein
What I see in Nature is a magnificent structure that we can comprehend only very imperfectly, and that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of humility. This is a genuinely religious feeling that has nothing to do with mysticism.
Albert Einstein
The only race I know is the human one.
Albert Einstein
In the middle of adversity there is great opportunity.
Albert Einstein
If I were wrong, wouldn't one be enough?
Albert Einstein
