Quote

Every one who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe-a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble.

It is only to the individual that a soul is given.

The most precious things in life are not those you get for money.
Albert Einstein
Image
The pursuit of knowledge is more valuable than its possession.
Albert Einstein
Image
The analogy I like is this imagine being able to see the world but you are deaf, and then suddenly someone gives you the ability to hear things as well - you get an extra dimension of perception.
Albert Einstein

A country cannot simultaneously prepare and prevent war. I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. The distinctions separating the social classes are false in the last analysis they rest on force.

Why is it that no one understands me and everybody likes me
Albert Einstein
Image
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

What counts can't always be counted what can be counted doesn't always count.

Unless the cause of peace based on law gathers behind it the force and zeal of a religion, it hardly can hope to succeed.
Albert Einstein
Image
Falling in love is not at all the most stupid thing that people do - but gravitation cannot be held responsible for it.
Albert Einstein
Image
Whoever is devoid of the capacity to wonder, whoever remains unmoved, whoever cannot contemplate or know the deep shudder of the soul in enchantment, might just as well be dead for he has already closed his eyes upon life.
Albert Einstein
Image
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms.
Albert Einstein
Image
We must begin to inculcate our children against militarism by educating them in the spirit of pacifism. Our schoolbooks glorify war and conceal it's horror. I would teach peace rather than war.
Albert Einstein
Image
On quantum theory I use up more brain grease (rough translation of German idiom) than on relativity.
Albert Einstein

The chicken did not cross the road. The road passed beneath the chicken.
Albert Einstein

I have yet to meet a single person from our culture, no matter what his or her educational background, IQ, and specific training, who had powerful transpersonal experiences and continues to subscribe to the materialistic monism of Western science.

A theory is the more impressive the greater the simplicity of its premises is, the more different kinds of things it relates, and the more extended its area of applicability.
Albert Einstein

A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.
