More quotes by Albert Einstein

Image
We must begin to inculcate our children against militarism by educating them in the spirit of pacifism. Our schoolbooks glorify war and conceal it's horror. I would teach peace rather than war.
Albert Einstein
Image
You cannot prevent and prepare for war at the same time.
Albert Einstein
Image
Had I known that the Germans would not succeed in producing an atomic bomb, I would not have lifted a finger.
Albert Einstein
Image
I believe in Spinoza's God, who reveals Himself in the lawful harmony of the world, not in a God who concerns Himself with the fate and the doings of mankind... to Rabbi Herbert Goldstein (1929)
Albert Einstein
Image
Remember today, for it is the beginning of always. Today marks the start of a brave new future filled with all your dreams can hold. Think truly to the future and make those dreams come true.
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
I no longer believed in the known God of the Bible, but rather in the mysterious God expressed in nature.
Albert Einstein
Image
Humankind's desire for peace can be realized only by the creation of a world government.
Albert Einstein
Image
Ethical axioms are found and tested not very differently from the axioms of science. Truth is what stands the test of experience.
Albert Einstein
Image
I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know God's thoughts, the rest are details.
Albert Einstein
Image
A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty - it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is only to the individual that a soul is given.
Albert Einstein
Image
The essentials of being a person of my type lies precisely in what they think and how they think, not in what they do. Your thoughts shape you.
Albert Einstein
Image
The future is an unknown, but a somewhat predictable unknown. To look to the future we must first look back upon the past. That is where the seeds of the future were planted. I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.
Albert Einstein
Image
There is no salvation for civilization, or even the human race, other than the creation of a world government.
Albert Einstein
Image
On the other hand, the concept owes its meaning and its justification exclusively to the totality of the sense impressions which we associate with it.
Albert Einstein
Image
.. free and responsible development of the individual, so that he may place his powers freely and gladly in the service of all mankind. There is no room in this for the divinization of a nation, of a class, let alone of an individual. Are we not all children of one father, as it is said in religious language?
Albert Einstein
Image
A theory is the more impressive the greater is the simplicity of its premises, the more different are the kinds of things it relates and the more extended the range of its applicability.
Albert Einstein
Image
How can he possibly be humble? He hasn't done anything yet.
Albert Einstein
Image
That is the way to learn the most, that when you are doing something with such enjoyment that you don't notice that the time passes.
Albert Einstein
