Knowledge exists in two forms - lifeless, stored in books, and alive, in the consciousness of men. The second form of existence is after all the essential one the first, indispensable as it may be, occupies only an inferior position.

More quotes by Albert Einstein
Despite my being an old gypsy there is a tendency to respectability inherent in old age.
Albert Einstein
People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
Albert Einstein
It is just as important to make knowledge live and keep it alive as to solve specific problems.
Albert Einstein
To put it boldly, it is the attempt at a posterior reconstruction of existence by the process of conceptualization.
Albert Einstein
It is only to the individual that a soul is given.
Albert Einstein
Almost all the other fellows do not look from the facts to the theory but from the theory to the facts they cannot get out of the network of already accepted concepts instead, comically, they only wriggle about inside.
Albert Einstein
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Albert Einstein
In any conflict between humanity and technology, humanity will win.
Albert Einstein
There is no scientific antidote, only education. You've got to change the way people think. I am not interested in disarmament talks between nations . . . What I want to do is to disarm the mind. After that, everything else will automatically follow. The ultimate weapon for such mental disarmament is international education.
Albert Einstein
When you examine the lives of the most influential people who have ever walked among us, you discover one thread that winds through them all. They have been aligned first with their spiritual nature and only then with their physical selves.
Albert Einstein
The religion of the future will be cosmic religion. It will transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology.
Albert Einstein
I cannot then believe in this concept of an anthropomorphic God who has the powers of interfering with these natural laws. As I said before, the most beautiful and most profound religious emotion that we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. And this mysticality is the power of all true science.
Albert Einstein
In a sailboat I become oblivious to everything else in the world.
Albert Einstein
Many of the things you can count, don't count. Many of the things you can't count, really count.
Albert Einstein
Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.
Albert Einstein
How insidious Nature is when one is trying to get at it experimentally.
Albert Einstein
The emotional state that leads to achievements resembles that of a worshiper or the lover.
Albert Einstein
It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.
Albert Einstein
Mysticism is in fact the only criticism people cannot level against my theory.
Albert Einstein
[O]nly if every individual strives for truth can humanity attain a happier future the atavisms in each of us that stand in the way of a friendlier destiny can only thus be rendered ineffective.
Albert Einstein
