More quotes by Albert Einstein
Agreements about what is good or not, are usually not worth much. It is very much like art, is it not an art to lead a good life?
Albert Einstein
Unlimited competition leads to a huge waste of labor, and to that crippling of the social consciousness of individuals.
Albert Einstein
Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.
Albert Einstein
No one must think that Newton’s great creation can be overthrown in any real sense by this [Theory of Relativity] or by any other theory. His clear and wide ideas will for ever retain their significance as the foundation on which our modern conceptions of physics have been built.
Albert Einstein
There's something to be said for relatives...it has to be said because it's unprintable!
Albert Einstein
Politics is a pendulum whose swings between anarchy and tyranny are fueled by perennially rejuvenated illusions.
Albert Einstein
God doesn't shoot crap with the universe.Your innermost thoughts are beliefs that unfold as your universe.
Albert Einstein
Never memorize what you can look up in a book.
Albert Einstein
I believe that the first step in the setting of a real external world is the formation of the concept of bodily objects and of bodily objects of various kinds.
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
When I have one week to solve a seemingly impossible problem, I spend six days defining the problem. Then, the solution becomes obvious.
Albert Einstein
If I can't picture it, I can't understand it.
Albert Einstein
Education is only a ladder to gather fruit from the tree of knowledge, not the fruit itself
Albert Einstein
When the solution is simple, God is answering.
Albert Einstein
To see with one's own eyes, to feel and judge without succumbing to the suggestive power of the fashion of the day, to be able to express what one has seen and felt in a snappy sentence or even in a cunningly wrought word - is that not glorious? Is it not a proper subject for congregation?
Albert Einstein
It is an outcome of faith that nature-as she is perceptible to our five senses-takes the character of such a well formulated puzzle.
Albert Einstein
If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.
Albert Einstein
Even a fool is wise after an event.
Albert Einstein
Love is not the stupidest thing a man does, but it cannot be blamed on gravity.
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
