More quotes by Albert Einstein
Nature hides her secrets because of her essential loftiness, but not by means of ruse.
Albert Einstein
It occurred to me by intuition, and music was the driving force behind that intuition. My discovery was the result of musical perception.
Albert Einstein
We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.
Albert Einstein
A man's ethical behaviour should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
Albert Einstein
The theoretical idea ... does not arise apart from and independent of experience nor can it be derived from experience by a purely logical procedure. It is produced by a creative act. Once a theoretical idea has been acquired, one does well to hold fast to it until it leads to an untenable conclusion.
Albert Einstein
I must be willing to give up what I am in order to become what I will be.
Albert Einstein
I want to know all God's thoughts.
Albert Einstein
The important things are always simple.
Albert Einstein
The most superior of scientific goals is to embrace a maximum of experiment with a minimum of hypotheses.
Albert Einstein
I should much rather see a reasonable agreement with Arabs based upon living together than the creation of a Jewish state.
Albert Einstein
In the middle of adversity there is great opportunity.
Albert Einstein
One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike -- and yet it is the most precious thing we have.
Albert Einstein
As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.
Albert Einstein
Pure logical thinking cannot yield us any knowledge of the empirical world. All knowledge of reality starts from experience and ends in it.
Albert Einstein
I believe that Gandhi’s views were the most enlightened of all the political men in our time. We should strive to do things in his spirit: not to use violence in fighting for our cause, but by non-participation in anything you believe is evil.
Albert Einstein
Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. You cannot subjugate a nation forcibly unless you wipe out every man, woman, and child. Unless you wish to use such drastic measures, you must find a way of settling your disputes without resort to arms.
Albert Einstein
We believe that an informed citizenry will act for life and not for death.
Albert Einstein
The stakes are immense, the task colossal, the time is short. But we may hope - we must hope - that man's own creation, man's own genius, will not destroy him.
Albert Einstein
It is the theory which decides what we can observe
Albert Einstein
What is essential in the life of a man of my kind is what he thinks and how he thinks, and not what he does or suffers.
Albert Einstein
