More quotes by Albert Einstein
In the view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who says there is no God. But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support of such views. (The Expanded Quotable Einstein, Princeton University, page 214)
Albert Einstein
Hunger, love, pain, fear are some of those inner forces which rule the individual's instinct for self preservation.
Albert Einstein
You accept the historical Jesus?
Albert Einstein
Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.
Albert Einstein
You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.
Albert Einstein
How can he possibly be humble? He hasn't done anything yet.
Albert Einstein
The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe.
Albert Einstein
In the beginning (if there was such a thing), God created Newton's laws of motion together with the necessary masses and forces. This is all everything beyond this follows from the development of appropriate mathematical methods by means of deduction.
Albert Einstein
The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.
Albert Einstein
I was originally supposed to become an engineer but the thought of having to expend my creative energy on things that make practical everyday life even more refined, with a loathsome capital gain as the goal, was unbearable to me.
Albert Einstein
Experts are just trained dogs.
Albert Einstein
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
Albert Einstein
Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. You cannot subjugate a nation forcibly unless you wipe out every man, woman, and child. Unless you wish to use such drastic measures, you must find a way of settling your disputes without resort to arms.
Albert Einstein
I believe, indeed, that overemphasis on the purely intellectual attitude, often directed solely to the practical and factual, in our education, has led directly to the impairment of ethical values.
Albert Einstein
We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.
Albert Einstein
A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future.
Albert Einstein
When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.
Albert Einstein
The supreme task of the physicist is to arrive at those universal elementary laws from which the cosmos can be built up by pure deduction. There is no logical path to these laws only intuition, resting on sympathetic understanding of experience, can reach them.
Albert Einstein
The years of searching in the dark for a truth that one feels but cannot express, the intense desire and the alternations of confidence and misgiving until one breaks through to clarity and understanding, are known only to him who has experienced them himself.
Albert Einstein
One feels the insignificance of the individual, and it makes one happy.
Albert Einstein
