More quotes by Albert Einstein
True knowledge comes with deep understanding of a topic and its inner workings.
Albert Einstein
The main task of the spirit is to free man from his ego.
Albert Einstein
The cult of individual personalities is always, in my view, unjustified. To be sure, nature distributes her gifts variously among her children. But there are plenty of the well-endowed ones too, thank God, and I am firmly convinced that most of them live quiet, unregarded lives.
Albert Einstein
All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom.
Albert Einstein
The leaves and the light are one.
Albert Einstein
Necessity is the mother of all invention.
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 would absolutely refuse any direct or indirect war service and would try to persuade my friends to do the same, regardless of the reasons for the cause of a war.
Albert Einstein
The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.
Albert Einstein
Overemphasis of the competitive system and premature specialization on the ground of immediate usefulness kill the spirit on which all cultural life depends, specialized knowledge included.
Albert Einstein
Whatever your problems in math are, I assure mine are greater.
Albert Einstein
The Devil craps on the big pile
Albert Einstein
Life is a preparation for the future and the best preparation for the future is to live as if there were none.
Albert Einstein
Beyond the realms of what we see, into the regions or the unexplored limited only by our imaginations.
Albert Einstein
The state was made for man, not man for state.
Albert Einstein
The world we have created is a product of our thinking.
Albert Einstein
If you want your children to be smart, tell them stories. If you want them to be really smart, tell them more stories. If you want your children to be brilliant, tell them even more stories.
Albert Einstein
I do not believe in immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no superhuman authority behind it.
Albert Einstein
Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.
Albert Einstein
We [Jews] have no other means of self-defense than our solidarity
Albert Einstein
