More quotes by Albert Einstein
From a certain temperature on, the molecules 'condense' without attractive forces that is, they accumulate at zero velocity. The theory is pretty, but is there some truth in it.
Albert Einstein
Fraulein Noether was the most significant creative mathematical genius thus far produced since the higher education of women began.
Albert Einstein
The physicists say that I am a mathematician, and the mathematicians say that I am a physicist. I am a completely isolated man and though everybody knows me, there are very few people who really know me.
Albert Einstein
The words of language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my mechanism of thought. The physical entities which seem to serve as elements in thought are certain signs and more or less clear images.
Albert Einstein
Know where to find the information and how to use it - That's the secret of success.
Albert Einstein
There are few enough people with sufficient independence to see the weaknesses and follies of their contemporaries and remain themselves untouched by them.
Albert Einstein
Desire for approval and recognition is a healthy motive, but the desire to be acknowledged as better, stronger, or more intelligent than a fellow being or fellow scholar easily leads to an excessively egoistic psychological adjustment, which may become injurious for the individual and for the community.
Albert Einstein
In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep, one must above all be a sheep oneself.
Albert Einstein
When I think of the most able students I have encountered in my teaching - I mean those who have distinguished themselves not only by skill but by independence of thought - then I must confess that all have had a lively interest in epistemology.
Albert Einstein
Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.
Albert Einstein
Please explain the problem to me slowly, as I do not understand things quickly.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
We will never be able to solve the problems of tomorrow with the thinking of today
Albert Einstein
My political ideal is democracy. Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized.
Albert Einstein
Life is a great tapestry. The individual is only an insignificant thread in an immense and miraculous pattern.
Albert Einstein
We must be prepared to make the same heroic sacrifices for the cause of peace that we make ungrudgingly for the cause of war.
Albert Einstein
The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and truth. To make a goal of comfort or happiness has never appealed to me a system of ethics built on this basis would be sufficient only for a herd of cattle.
Albert Einstein
I do not like to state an opinion on a matter unless I know the precise facts.
Albert Einstein
To me it is enough to wonder at the secrets
Albert Einstein
I am doing just fine, considering that I have triumphantly survived Nazism and two wives.
Albert Einstein
