Albert Einstein
Image
Just as with the man in the fairy tale who turned whatever he touched into gold, with me everything is turned into newspaper clamor.
Albert Einstein
Image
Creativity is the residue of time wasted.
Albert Einstein
Image
Science is the century-old endeavor to bring together by means of systematic thought the perceptible phenomena of this world into as thorough-going an association as possible.
Albert Einstein
Image
Even if only 2 percent of those assigned to perform military service should announce their refusal to fight, governments would be powerless, they would not dare send such a large number of people to jail.
Albert Einstein
Image
When you look at yourself from a universal standpoint, something inside always reminds or informs you that there are bigger and better things to worry about.
Albert Einstein
Image
I think 99 times and find nothing. I stop thinking, swim in the silence, and the truth comes to me.
