More quotes by Albert Einstein

Image
I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being.
Albert Einstein
Image
The idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I am unable to take seriously.
Albert Einstein

The true measure of a man is the degree to which he has managed to subjugate his ego.
Albert Einstein
Image
Body and soul are not two different things, but only two different ways of perceiving the same thing. Similarly, physics and psychology are only different attempts to link our experiences together by way of systematic thought.
Albert Einstein

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

A ship is safe at shore but it's not built for that.
Albert Einstein

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
I consider it important, indeed urgently necessary, for intellectual workers to get together, both to protect their own economic status and, also, generally speaking, to secure their influence in the political field.
Albert Einstein
Image
If you want to make your children brilliant, tell them fairy tales. If you want to make them more brilliant, tell them more fairy tales.
Albert Einstein
Image
We know nothing at all. All our knowledge is but the knowledge of schoolchildren. The real nature of things we shall never know.
Albert Einstein
Image
I get the most joy in life out of music.
Albert Einstein
Image
I'm no more intelligent than the next guy. I'm just more curious.
Albert Einstein
Image
I do not believe in immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no superhuman authority behind it.
Albert Einstein
Image
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
Albert Einstein
Image
As to science, we may well define it for our purpose as methodical thinking directed toward finding regulative connections between our sensual experiences.
Albert Einstein

My sense of god is my sense of wonder about the universe.

All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree.
