The payment of the worker is not determined by the value of his product.
Albert Einstein
Image
Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.
Albert Einstein
Image
What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the World.
Albert Einstein

It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure.

This has been done elegantly by Minkowski but chalk is cheaper than grey matter, and we will do it as it comes.

It is really a puzzle what drives one to take one's work so devilishly seriously.
Albert Einstein

Whether or not you can observe a thing depends upon the theory you use. It is the theory which decides what can be observed.
Albert Einstein
Image
No one but a theorist believes his theory everyone puts faith in a laboratory result but the experimenter himself.

There exists a passion for comprehension, just as there exists a passion for music. That passion is rather common in children, but gets lost in most people later on. Without this passion there would be neither mathematics nor natural science.
Albert Einstein

My position concerning God is that of an agnostic. I am convinced that a vivid consciousness of the primary importance of moral principles for the betterment and ennoblement of life does not need the idea of a law-giver, especially a law-giver who works on the basis of reward and punishment.
Albert Einstein

The world is not full of evil because of those who do wrong. It is full of evil because of those who do nothing.
Albert Einstein
Image
I see a pattern, but my imagination cannot picture the maker of that pattern. I see a clock, but I cannot envision the clockmaker. The human mind is unable to conceive of the four dimensions, so how can it conceive of a God, before whom a thousand years and a thousand dimensions are as one?
Albert Einstein
Image
The number of natural hypothesis that can explain any given phenomena is infinite.
Albert Einstein
Image
The definition of genius is taking the complex and making it simple.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am by heritage a Jew, by citizenship a Swiss, and by makeup a human being, and only a human being, without any special attachment to any state or national entity whatsoever.

The only rational way of educating is to be an example. If one can't help it, a warning example.
Albert Einstein
Image
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.
