Image
The more cruel the wrong that men commit against an individual or a people, the deeper their hatred and contempt for their victim.
Albert Einstein
Image
Except in mathematics, the shortest distance between point A and point B is seldom a straight line. I don't believe in mathematics.
Albert Einstein
Image
There exists a passion for comprehension, just as there exists a passion for music. That passion is rather common in children, but gets lost in most people later on. Without this passion there would be neither mathematics nor natural science.
Albert Einstein
Image
Nonsense, seems to sum up everything.
Albert Einstein
Image
I feel that you are justified in looking into the future with true assurance, because you have a mode of living in which we find the joy of life and the joy of work harmoniously combined. Added to this is the spirit of ambition which pervades your very being, and seems to make the day's work like a happy child at play.
Albert Einstein

When the Special Theory of Relativity began to germinate in me, I was visited by all sorts of nervous conflicts... I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion.
Albert Einstein
Image
He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice.
Albert Einstein
Image
Everything that exists in your life, does so because of two things: something you did or something you didn't do.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have become rather like King Midas, except that everything turns not into gold but into a circus.
Albert Einstein
Image
Human knowledge and skills alone cannot lead humanity to a happy and dignified life. Humanity has every reason to place the proclaimers of high moral standards and values above the discoverers of objective truth.
Albert Einstein
Image
Thinking is hard work that's why so few do it.
Albert Einstein
Image
Some men spend a lifetime in an attempt to comprehend the complexities of women. Others pre-occupy themselves with somewhat simpler tasks, such as understanding the theory of relativity!
Albert Einstein
Image
The horizon of many people is a circle with a radius of zero. They call this their point of view.
Albert Einstein
Image
Highly developed spirits often encounter resistance from mediocre minds.
Albert Einstein
Image
The creative scientist studies nature with the rapt gaze of the lover, and is guided as often by aesthetics as by rational considerations in guessing how nature works.
Albert Einstein
Image
Try not to become a man of success, but a man of value. Look around at how people want to get more out of life than they put in. A man of value will give more than he receives. Be creative, but make sure that what you create is not a curse for mankind.
Albert Einstein
Image
There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle you can live as if everything is a miracle.
Albert Einstein
Image
... we will hope that future historians will explain the morbid symptoms of present-day society as the childhood ailments of an aspiring humanity, due entirely to the excessive speed at which civilization was advancing.
Albert Einstein
Image
Often in evolutionary processes a species must adapt to new conditions in order to survive. Today the atomic bomb has altered profoundly the nature of the world as we know it, and the human race consequently finds itself in a new habitat to which it must adapt its thinking.

If there is any religion that could respond to the needs of modern science, it would be Buddhism.
