More quotes by Albert Einstein
Everyone likes me, yet nobody understands me.
Albert Einstein
Success = 1 part work + 1 part play + 1 part keep your mouth shut
Albert Einstein
I believe in intuition and inspiration...at times I feel certain I am right while not knowing the reason.
Albert Einstein
Stupidity is a personal achievement which transcends national boundaries.
Albert Einstein
I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
Albert Einstein
There is no place in this new kind of physics both for the field and matter, for the field is the only reality.
Albert Einstein
The really good music, whether of the East or of the West, cannot be analyzed.
Albert Einstein
Scientific research is based on the idea that everything that takes place is determined by laws of Nature, and therefore this holds for the action of people. For this reason, a research scientist will hardly be inclined to believe that events could be influenced by a prayer, i.e. by a wish addressed to a Supernatural Being.
Albert Einstein
X + Y + Z X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.
Albert Einstein
But if the longing for the achievement of the goal is powerfully alive within us, then shall we not lack the strength to find the means for reaching the goal and for translating it into deeds.
Albert Einstein
I live my daydreams in music I see my life in terms of music. I get most joy in life out of music.
Albert Einstein
It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.
Albert Einstein
I see only with deep regret that God punishes so many of His children for their numerous stupidities, for which only He Himself can be held responsible in my opinion, only His nonexistence could excuse Him.
Albert Einstein
I am by heritage a Jew, by citizenship a Swiss, and by makeup a human being, and only a human being, without any special attachment to any state or national entity whatsoever.
Albert Einstein
We [Jews] have no other means of self-defense than our solidarity
Albert Einstein
Outer changes always begin with an inner change of attitude.
Albert Einstein
By an application of the theory of relativity to the taste of readers, today in Germany I am called a German man of science, and in England I am represented as a Swiss Jew. If I come to be represented as a bête noire, the descriptions will be reversed, and I shall become a Swiss Jew for the Germans and a German man of science for the English!
Albert Einstein
The most superior of scientific goals is to embrace a maximum of experiment with a minimum of hypotheses.
Albert Einstein
In scientific thinking are always present elements of poetry. Science and music requires a thought homogeneous.
Albert Einstein
As long as I have any choice in the matter, I shall live only in a country where civil liberty, tolerance and equality of all citizens before the law prevail.
Albert Einstein
