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.

Creative energy is more critical than learning.
Albert Einstein
Image
A perfection of means, and confusion of aims, seems to be our main problem.
Albert Einstein
Image
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.
Albert Einstein
Image
We are slowed down sound and light waves, a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos. We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is really a puzzle what drives one to take one's work so devilishly seriously.
Albert Einstein
Image
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.

Though our conduct seems so very different from that of the higher animals, the primary instincts are much alike in them and in us.
Albert Einstein
Image
I don't try to imagine a personal God it suffices to stand in awe at the structure of the world, insofar as it allows our inadequate senses to appreciate it.
Albert Einstein

The most superior of scientific goals is to embrace a maximum of experiment with a minimum of hypotheses.
Albert Einstein
Image
A man's ethical behaviour should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
Albert Einstein
Image
Imagination is more powerful than knowledge.
Albert Einstein
Image
You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war. The very prevention of war requires more faith, courage and resolution than are needed to prepare for war. We must all do our share, that we may be equal to the task of peace.

What use are socks? They only produce holes.
Albert Einstein

The consequence was a positively fanatic [orgy of] freethinking coupled with the impression that youth is being deceived by the state through lies it was a crushing impression
Albert Einstein

There is no scientific antidote, only education. You've got to change the way people think. I am not interested in disarmament talks between nations . . . What I want to do is to disarm the mind. After that, everything else will automatically follow. The ultimate weapon for such mental disarmament is international education.

Since the mathematicians have invaded the theory of relativity I do not understand it myself any more.
Albert Einstein

Infinite striving to be the best is man's duty It is its own reward. Everything else is in god's hands. It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.
Albert Einstein
Image
For science can only ascertain what is, but not what should be, and outside of its domain value judgments of all kinds remain necessary. Religion, on the other hand, deals only with evaluations of human thought and action: it cannot justifiably speak of facts and relationships between facts.

The ability to portray people in still life and in motion requires the highest measure of intuition and talent.

I have lived to prove Thoreau's contention that a man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.
