I am absolutely convinced that no wealth in the world can help humanity forward, even in the hands of the most devoted worker in this cause.

Albert Einstein

The State idea is not according to my heart. I cannot understand why it is needed. It is connected with narrow-minded and economic obstacles. I believe it is bad. I have always been against it.
Albert Einstein
Image
Even trivial events demonstrate strong devotion to the Universe and small concern for ego.
Albert Einstein
Image
We are boxed in by the boundary conditions of our thinking
Albert Einstein
Image
It stands to the everlasting credit of science that by acting on the human mind it has overcome man's insecurity before himself and before nature.
Albert Einstein
Image
I do not play games. There is not time for it. When I get through with work, I don't want anything that requires the working of the mind.
Albert Einstein
Image
Science is the process of making obviously erroneous ideas less obviously erroneous.
Albert Einstein
