More quotes by Albert Einstein
The greatest tragedy of human existence is the illusion of separateness.
Albert Einstein
The world is an evil place to live in. Not for those who do evil, but for those who sit back and allow evil to occur.
Albert Einstein
Arrows of hate have been aimed at me too, but they have never hit me, because somehow they belonged to another world with which I have no connection whatsoever.
Albert Einstein
To obtain an assured favorable response from people, it is better to offer them something for their stomachs instead of their brains.
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
I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
Albert Einstein
In the past it never occurred to me that every casual remark of mine would be snatched up and recorded. Otherwise I would have crept further into my shell.
Albert Einstein
Marie Curie is, of all celebrated beings, the only one whom fame has not corrupted.
Albert Einstein
I have come to know the mutability of all human relationships and have learned to insulate myself against both heat and cold so that a temperature balance is fairly well assured.
Albert Einstein
I have reached the conviction that the abolition of the death penalty is desirable. Reasons: 1) Irreparability in the event of an error of justice, 2) Detrimental moral influence of the execution procedure on those who, whether directly or indirectly, have to do with the procedure.
Albert Einstein
Life is like riding a bicycle. If you want to stay balanced you've got to keep moving forward.
Albert Einstein
Science can only ascertain what is, but not what should be, and outside of its domain value judgements of all kinds remain necessary.
Albert Einstein
Matter is real to my senses, but they aren't trustworthy. If Galileo or Copernicus had accepted what they saw, they would never have discovered the movement of the earth and planets.
Albert Einstein
If someone feels that he has never made a mistake in his life, it only means that he has never tried anything new in his life.
Albert Einstein
Imagination rules the earth
Albert Einstein
If we think of the field as being removed, there is no 'space' which remains, since space does not have an independent existence.
Albert Einstein
You can't use an old map to explore a new world.
Albert Einstein
Those instrumental goods which should serve to maintain the life and health of all human beings should be produced by the least possible labour of all.
Albert Einstein
I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves. An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension, nor do I wish it otherwise such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls.
Albert Einstein
The difference between what the most and the least learned people know is inexpressibly trivial in relation to that which is unknown.
Albert Einstein
