Human beings can attain a worthy and harmonious life only if they are able to rid themselves, within the limits of human nature, of the striving for the wish fulfillment of material kinds. The goal is to raise the spiritual values of society.
Albert Einstein

When a man is sufficiently motivated, discipline will take care of itself.
Albert Einstein
Image

Fortunate Newton, happy childhood of science. Nature to him was an open book. He stands before us strong, certain, and alone.
Albert Einstein
Image
I cannot conceive of a personal God who would directly influence the actions of individuals, or would directly sit in judgment on creatures of his own creation.
Albert Einstein
Image
If you have never failed, you have never tried anything new.
Albert Einstein
Image
Every thoughtful, well-meaning and conscientious human being should assume in time of peace, the solemn and unconditional obligation not to participate in any war, for any reason or to lend support of any kind, whether direct or indirect.
Albert Einstein
Image
The world is in greater peril from those who tolerate or encourage evil than from those who actually commit it.
Albert Einstein
Image
Three Rules of Work: Out of clutter find simplicity. From discord find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.
Albert Einstein
Image
The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it Intuition or what you will, the solution comes to you and you don't know how or why.
Albert Einstein
Image
Striving for peace and preparing for war are incompatible with each other, and in our time more so than ever.
Albert Einstein
Image
When I was still a rather precocious young man, I already realized most vividly the futility of the hopes and aspirations that most men pursue throughout their lives.
Albert Einstein
