Work is the only thing that gives substance to life.
Albert Einstein
Image
Concepts which have proved useful for ordering things easily assume so great an authority over us, that we forget their terrestrial origin and accept them as unalterable facts. They then become labeled as 'conceptual necessities,' etc. The road of scientific progress is frequently blocked for long periods by such errors.
Albert Einstein
Image
Our entire much-praised technological progress, and civilization generally, could be compared to an axe in the hand of a pathological criminal.
Albert Einstein
Image
One had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year.

A person experiences life as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. Our task must be to free ourselves from this self-imposed prison, and through compassion, to find the reality of Oneness.
Albert Einstein
Image
Pure logical thinking cannot yield us any knowledge of the empirical world. All knowledge of reality starts from experience and ends in it.
Albert Einstein

The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.
Albert Einstein
Image
All that's different about me is that I still ask the questions most people stopped asking at age five.
Albert Einstein
Image
The only justification for our concepts and systems of concepts is that they serve to represent the complex of our experiences beyond this they have not legitimacy.
Albert Einstein
Image
All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual.
Albert Einstein
Image
We have penetrated far less deeply into the regularities obtaining within the realm of living things, but deeply enough nevertheless to sense at least the rule of fixed necessity... what is still lacking here is a grasp of the connections of profound generality, but not a knowledge of order itself.
Albert Einstein
Image
As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue.
Albert Einstein
Image
People should be more like animals . . . they should be more intuitive they should not be too conscious of what they do while they do it.
Albert Einstein
Image
That is the way to learn the most, that when you are doing something with such enjoyment that you don't notice that the time passes.
Albert Einstein
