More quotes by Albert Einstein
Man owes his strength in the struggle for existence to the fact that he is a social animal.
Albert Einstein
Since I do not forsee that atomic energy is to be a great boon for a long time, I have to say that for the present it is a menace. Perhaps it is well that it should be. It may intimidate the human race into bringing order into its international affairs, which, without the presence of fear, it would not do.
Albert Einstein
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
It is certainly true that principles cannot be more securely founded than on experience and consciously clear thinking.
Albert Einstein
You can't resolve a dilemma with all the very same mind that made it
Albert Einstein
You cannot love a car the way you love a horse. The horse brings out human feelings the way machines cannot do. Things like machines may develop or neglect certain things in people ... Machines make our life impersonal and stultify certain elements in us and create an impersonal environment.
Albert Einstein
The state was made for man, not man for state.
Albert Einstein
Our separation from each other is an optical illusion.
Albert Einstein
The main task of the spirit is to free man from his ego.
Albert Einstein
The human mind has first to construct forms, independently, before we can find them in things.
Albert Einstein
But in physics I soon learned to scent out the paths that led to the depths, and to disregard everything else, all the many things that clutter up the mind, and divert it from the essential. The hitch in this was, of course, the fact that one had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examination, whether one liked it or not.
Albert Einstein
Gradually the conviction gained recognition that all knowledge about things is exclusively a working-over of the raw material furnished by the senses. ... Galileo and Hume first upheld this principle with full clarity and decisiveness.
Albert Einstein
O, Youth: Do you know that yours is not the first generation to yearn for a life full of beauty and freedom?
Albert Einstein
But nature did not deem it her business to make the discovery of her laws easy for us.
Albert Einstein
The emotional state that leads to achievements resembles that of a worshiper or the lover.
Albert Einstein
Communities tend to be guided less than individuals by conscience and a sense of responsibility. How much misery does this fact cause mankind! It is the source of wars and every kind of oppression, which fill the earth with pain, sighs and bitterness.
Albert Einstein
The majority of the stupid is invincible and guaranteed for all time. The terror of their tyranny, however, is alleviated by their lack of consistency.
Albert Einstein
The minority, the ruling class at present, has the schools and press, usually the Church as well, under its thumb. This enables it to organize and sway the emotions of the masses, and make its tool of them.
Albert Einstein
They come into being not through demonstration but through revelation, through the medium of powerful personalities.
Albert Einstein
Conviction is a good motive, but a bad judge.
Albert Einstein
