Image
Only six men in the world know about relativity. I am not one of them. When I ask them to explain, they confused me.
Albert Einstein
Image
Don't let your brain interfere with your heart.
Albert Einstein
Image
The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.
Albert Einstein
Image
I believe the most important mission of the state is to protect the individual and make it possible for him to develop into a creative personality.
Albert Einstein
Image
When the number of factors coming into play in a phenomenological complex is too large scientific method in most cases fails. One need only think of the weather, in which case the prediction even for a few days ahead is impossible.
Albert Einstein
Image
Humiliation and mental oppression by ignorant and selfish teachers wreak havoc in the youthful mind that can never be undone and often exert a baleful influence in later life.
Albert Einstein
Image
Be a voice not an echo.
Albert Einstein
Image
Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world.
Albert Einstein
Image
The opinion prevailed among advanced minds that it was time that belief should be replaced increasingly by knowledge belief that did not itself rest on knowledge was superstition, and as such had to be opposed.
Albert Einstein
Image
You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. A life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
Albert Einstein
Image
It's not that life has been easy, perfect or exactly as expected. I just choose to be happy and grateful no matter how it all turns out. If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is entirely possible that behind the perception of our senses, worlds are hidden of which we are unaware.
Albert Einstein
Image
To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.
Albert Einstein
Image
I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.
Albert Einstein
Image
All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual.
Albert Einstein
Image
I do not believe that a moral philosophy can ever be founded on a scientific basis. … The valuation of life and all its nobler expressions can only come out of the soul’s yearning toward its own destiny. Every attempt to reduce ethics to scientific formulas must fail. Of that I am perfectly convinced.
Albert Einstein
Image
We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.
Albert Einstein
Image
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
If they want to see me, here I am. If they want to see my clothes, open my closet and show them my suits.
Albert Einstein

I can understand your aversion to the use of the term 'religion' to describe an emotional and psychological attitude which shows itself most clearly in Spinoza... I have not found a better expression than 'religious' for the trust in the rational nature of reality that is, at least to a certain extent, accessible to human reason.
