Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.

More quotes by Albert Einstein
If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker.
Albert Einstein
A life directed chiefly toward the fulfillment of personal desires will sooner or later always lead to bitter disappointment.
Albert Einstein
Good acts are like good poems. One may easily get their drift, but they are not rationally understood.
Albert Einstein
The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogmas and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description.
Albert Einstein
We scientists, whose tragic destination has been to help in making the methods of annihilation more gruesome and more effective, must consider it our solemn and transcendent duty to do all in our power in preventing these weapons from being used for the brutal purpose for which they were invented.
Albert Einstein
Time is what the clock says.
Albert Einstein
How insidious Nature is when one is trying to get at it experimentally.
Albert Einstein
It was the experience of mystery - even if mixed with fear - that engendered religion.
Albert Einstein
Our defense is not in our armaments, nor in science, nor in going underground. Our defense is in law and order.
Albert Einstein
If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.
Albert Einstein
In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same.
Albert Einstein
It is the same with people as it is with riding a bike. Only when moving can one comfortably maintain one's balance.
Albert Einstein
Germany had the misfortune of becoming poisoned, first because of plenty, and then because of want.
Albert Einstein
Non-comprehenders are often distressed. Not you, though-because with good humor you're blessed. After all, your thoughts went like this, I dare say: It was none but the Lord who made us that way.
Albert Einstein
I make it a rule not to clutter my mind with simple information that I can find in a book in five minutes.
Albert Einstein
The supreme goal of all theory is to make the irreducible basic elements as simple and as few as possible without having to surrender the adequate representation of a simple datum of experience.
Albert Einstein
Only strong characters can resist the temptation of superficial analysis.
Albert Einstein
Enjoying the joys of others and suffering with them-these are the best guides for man.
Albert Einstein
There have already been published by the bucketsful such brazen lies and utter fictions about me that I would long since have gone to my grave if I had allowed myself to pay attention to them.
Albert Einstein
All of us who are concerned for peace and triumph of reason and justice must be keenly aware how small an influence reason and honest good will exert upon events in the political field.
Albert Einstein
