Understanding of our fellow human beings...becomes fruitful only when it is sustained by sympathetic feelings in joy and sorrow.
Albert Einstein
Image
In my opinion there is no other salvation for civilization and even for the human race than the creation of a world government with security on the basis of law. As long as there are sovereign states with their separate armaments and armament secrets, new world wars cannot be avoided.
Albert Einstein

School failed me, and I failed the school. It bored me. The teachers behaved like Feldwebel (sergeants). I wanted to learn what I wanted to know, but they wanted me to learn for the exam. What I hated most was the competitive system there, and especially sports. Because of this, I wasn't worth anything, and several times they suggested I leave.
Albert Einstein

My life is a simple thing that would interest no one. It is a known fact that I was born, and that is all that is necessary.

God does not play dice.

I have no particular talent. I am merely inquisitive.
Albert Einstein
Image
The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.
Albert Einstein
Image
For any one who is pervaded with the sense of causal law in all that happens, who accepts in real earnest the assumption of causality, the idea of a Being who interferes with the sequence of events in the world is absolutely impossible. Neither the religion of fear nor the social-moral religion can have any hold on him.
Albert Einstein
Image
I believe in intuitions and inspirations...I sometimes FEEL that I am right. I do not KNOW that I am.
Albert Einstein
Image
I know quite certainly that I myself have no special talent curiosity, obsession and dogged endurance, combined with self-criticism, have brought me to my ideas.
Albert Einstein
Image
A theory can be proved by experiment but no path leads from experiment to the birth of a theory.
Albert Einstein

While you're trying to get ahead, remember to get aheart as well. When your only problem IS a nail, all you want is a decent hammer. There are only two ways to live your life: one is as though nothing is a miracle the other is as though everything is a miracle.
Albert Einstein

You never fail until you stop trying.
Albert Einstein

Freedom of teaching and of opinion in book or press is the foundation for the sound and natural development of any people.

Time is just something we invented to make motion seem simple.

The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.
