If we trace out what we behold and experience through the language of logic, we are doing science if we show it in forms whose interrelashionships are not accessible to our conscious thought but we are intuitively recognized as meaningful, we are doing art.
Albert Einstein
Image
Dear Posterity, If you have not become more just, more peaceful, and in general more sensible... then may the Devil take you!
Albert Einstein
Image
I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil. My God created laws that take care of that. His universe is not ruled by wishful thinking, but by immutable laws.
Albert Einstein
Image
It was the experience of mystery - even if mixed with fear - that engendered religion.
Albert Einstein
Image
Everybody should be ashamed who uses the wonders of science and engineering without thinking and having mentally realized not more of it than a cow realizes of the botany of the plants which it eats with pleasure.

The theory must not contradict empirical facts.

If I give you a pfennig, you will be one pfennig richer and I'll be one pfennig poorer. But if I give you an idea, you will have a new idea, but I shall still have it too.

You can't solve your problems by using the same thinking that got you into those problems in the first place.

I know very well that many scientists consider dowsing as they do astrology, as a type of ancient superstition. According to my conviction this is, unjustified. The dowsing rod is a simple instrument which shows the uncanny reaction of the human nervous system to certain factors which are unknown to us at this time.

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
Image
When a blind beetle crawls over the surface of a globe he doesn't notice that the track he has covered is curved. I was lucky enough to have spotted it.

The man of science is a poor philosopher.
Albert Einstein

Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted in important affairs.
Albert Einstein

Condemnation before investigation is the highest form of ignorance.
Albert Einstein

One should respect an honest person even if he expresses opinions differing from one's own.
Albert Einstein
Image
I do not believe that a moral philosophy can ever be founded on a scientific basis. … The valuation of life and all its nobler expressions can only come out of the soul’s yearning toward its own destiny. Every attempt to reduce ethics to scientific formulas must fail. Of that I am perfectly convinced.
Albert Einstein

A man's moral worth is not measured by what his religious beliefs are but rather by what emotional impulses he has received from Nature during his lifetime.

The economists will have to revise their theories of value.
Albert Einstein

Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect, as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.
