I admit that thoughts influence the body.
Albert Einstein

I have survived two wars, two wives and Hitler.
Albert Einstein
Image
... a person who is religiously enlightened appears to me to be one who has, to the best of his ability, liberated himself from the fetters of his selfish desires and is preoccupied with thoughts, feelings, and aspirations to which he clings because of their superpersonal value.
Albert Einstein
Image
The tyranny of the ignoramuses is insurmountable and assured for all time.
Albert Einstein
Image
Turkish soldiers are very brave. They love their homeland and they do not hesitate to give their lives for it if necessary.
Albert Einstein
