Student: Dr. Einstein, Aren't these the same questions as last year's [physics] final exam? Dr. Einstein: Yes But this year the answers are different.

Why is it that no one understands me and everybody likes me
Albert Einstein

I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves. An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension, nor do I wish it otherwise such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls.

To take those fools in clerical garb seriously is to show them too much honor.

What is significant in one's own existence one is hardly aware, and it certainly should not bother the other fellow. What does a fish know about the water in which he swims all his life?

I love Humanity but I hate humans
Albert Einstein

The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.
Albert Einstein
Image
Creativity is one of those hypnotic words which are prone to cast a spell upon our understanding and dissolve our thinking into haze.
Albert Einstein
Image
Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.
Albert Einstein
Image
Yes, we now have to divide up our time like that, between politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever.
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.

All men are ignorant, just in different fields.

I believe the most important mission of the state is to protect the individual and make it possible for him to develop into a creative personality.
