More quotes by Albert Einstein
The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms.
Albert Einstein
Life isn't worth living, unless it is lived for someone else.
Albert Einstein
X + Y + Z X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.
Albert Einstein
Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character it becomes lack of power to act with courage proportionate to danger. All this must lead to the destruction of our intellectual life unless the danger summons up strong personalities able to fill the lukewarm and discouraged with new strength and resolution.
Albert Einstein
To the extent math refers to reality, we are not certain to the extent we are certain, math does not refer to reality.
Albert Einstein
When a man points a finger at someone else, he should remember that three of his fingers are pointing at himself. Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics I can assure you that mine are still greater.
Albert Einstein
Do you believe in immortality? No, and one life is enough for me.
Albert Einstein
I don't teach my students, I provide the circumstances in which they can learn.
Albert Einstein
I rarely think in words at all.
Albert Einstein
Everybody acts not only under external compulsion but also in accordance with inner necessity.
Albert Einstein
The harmony of natural law reveals an Intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection.
Albert Einstein
Dear Posterity, If you have not become more just, more peaceful, and in general more sensible... then may the Devil take you!
Albert Einstein
I don't need to know everything, I just need to know where to find it, when I need it
Albert Einstein
Thanks to my fortunate idea of introducing the relativity principle into physics, you (and others) now enormously overrate my scientific abilities, to the point where this makes me quite uncomfortable.
Albert Einstein
Concern for man himself must always constitute the chief objective of all technological effort
Albert Einstein
The religion of the future will be cosmic religion. It will transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology.
Albert Einstein
Do things sound better in your head before you say them, or do you even run them through there first?
Albert Einstein
Man, surrounded by facts, permitting himself no surprise, no intuitive flash, no great hypothesis, no risk, is in a locked cell. Ignorance cannot seal the mind and imagination more securely.
Albert Einstein
Without ethical culture, there is no salvation for humanity.
Albert Einstein
Of what significance is one's existence, one is basically unaware. What does a fish know about the water in which he swims all his life? The bitter and the sweet come from outside. The hard from within, from one's own efforts. For the most part I do what my own nature drives me to do. It is embarrassing to earn such respect and love for it.
Albert Einstein
