More quotes by Albert Einstein

Image
There is nothing divine about morality it is a purely human affair. If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed. What the individual can do is to give a fine example, and to have the courage to uphold ethical values .. in a society of cynics.
Albert Einstein
Image
I see a pattern, but my imagination cannot picture the maker of that pattern. I see a clock, but I cannot envision the clockmaker. The human mind is unable to conceive of the four dimensions, so how can it conceive of a God, before whom a thousand years and a thousand dimensions are as one?
Albert Einstein

Future medicine will be the medicine of frequencies.
Albert Einstein
Image
For science can only ascertain what is, but not what should be, and outside of its domain value judgments of all kinds remain necessary. Religion, on the other hand, deals only with evaluations of human thought and action: it cannot justifiably speak of facts and relationships between facts.
Albert Einstein
Image
Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice tells me that this is not yet the real thing. The theory says a lot, but does not bring us any closer to the secrets of the Old One. I, at any rate, am convinced that He is not playing at dice.

The special theory of relativity owes its origins to Maxwell's equations of the electromagnetic field.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is open to every man to choose the direction of his striving and also every man may draw comfort from Lessing's fine saying, that the search for truth is more precious than its possession.
Albert Einstein
Image
God has given me a mule-like stubbornness to stick with a difficult problem and the intuitive powers to conceptualize complex hypothetical situations in my mind.
Albert Einstein

Our defense is not in our armaments, nor in science, nor in going underground. Our defense is in law and order.
Albert Einstein

One scientific epoch ended and another began with James Clerk Maxwell.
Albert Einstein
Image
Genius abhors consensus because when consensus is reached, thinking stops. Stop nodding your head.
Albert Einstein

I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is important to foster individuality, for only the individual can produce the new ideas.
Albert Einstein

Failing isn't bad when you learn what not to do.

Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.

It is difficult even to attach a precise meaning to the term scientific truth. So different is the meaning of the word truth according to whether we are dealing with a fact of experience, a mathematical proposition or a scientific theory. Religious truth conveys nothing clear to me at all.
Albert Einstein
Image
The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this.

All such action would cease if those powerful elemental forces were to cease stirring within us.

We must recognize what in our accepted tradition is damaging to our fate and dignity-and shape our lives accordingly.
