Analytics will never tell you everything you want to know.
Albert Einstein
Image
I think 99 times and find nothing. I stop thinking, swim in the silence, and the truth comes to me.
Albert Einstein
Image
If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.
Albert Einstein
Image
The truth isn't always a blinding light. Sometimes it's a deep and dazzling darkness, that illuminates - and burns - just as surely.
Albert Einstein
Image
The content of scientific theory itself offers no moral foundation for the personal conduct of life.
Albert Einstein
Image
[Freud's] sense of reality is less clouded by wishful thinking than is the case with other people and [he combines] the qualities of critical judgment, earnestness and responsibility.
Albert Einstein
Image
Genius is when an idea and the execution of that idea are simultaneous.
Albert Einstein
Image
A successful man is he who receives a great deal from his fellow men, usually incomparably more than corresponds to his service to them. The value of a man, however, should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.

If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.
Albert Einstein

If we trace out what we behold and experience through the language of logic, we are doing science if we show it in forms whose interrelashionships are not accessible to our conscious thought but we are intuitively recognized as meaningful, we are doing art.

I don't need to know everything, I just need to know where to find it, when I need it
Albert Einstein
Image
I believe that I have really found the relationship between gravitation and electricity, assuming that the Miller experiments are based on a fundamental error. Otherwise, the whole relativity theory collapses like a house of cards.
Albert Einstein
Image
Communities tend to be guided less than individuals by conscience and a sense of responsibility. How much misery does this fact cause mankind! It is the source of wars and every kind of oppression, which fill the earth with pain, sighs and bitterness.
Albert Einstein
Image
[Kepler] had to realize clearly that logical-mathematical theoretizing, no matter how lucid, could not guarantee truth by itself that the most beautiful logical theory means nothing in natural science without comparison with the exactest experience. Without this philosophic attitude, his work would not have been possible.

The Bible is a great source of wisdom and consolation and should be read frequently.
Albert Einstein
Image
I do not like to state an opinion on a matter unless I know the precise facts.

[Newton wrote to Halley ... that he would not give Hooke any credit] That, alas, is vanity. You find it in so many scientists. You know, it has always hurt me to think that Galileo did not acknowledge the work of Kepler.

A theory can be proved by experiment but no path leads from experiment to the birth of a theory.

In music I do not look for logic. I am quite intuitive on the whole and know no theories. I never like a work if I cannot intuitively grasp its inner unity (architecture).
