To see with one's own eyes, to feel and judge without succumbing to the suggestive power of the fashion of the day, to be able to express what one has seen and felt in a snappy sentence or even in a cunningly wrought word - is that not glorious? Is it not a proper subject for congregation?
Albert Einstein
Image
What I see in Nature is a grand design that we can understand only imperfectly, one with which a responsible person must look at with humility.
Albert Einstein
Image
Make a lot of walks to get healthy and don't read that much but save yourself some until you're grown up.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
Image
I have no particular talent. I am merely inquisitive.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.
Albert Einstein
Image
Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.
Albert Einstein
Image
One does not make wars less likely by formulationg rules of warfare... war cannot be humanized. It can only be eliminated.
Albert Einstein
Image
All our thinking is of this nature, a free play with concepts.
Albert Einstein
Image
How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought which is independent of experience, is so admirably appropriate to the objects of reality?
Albert Einstein

It is the theory which decides what we can observe

The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself. A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin what else does a man need to be happy?

When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous
