More quotes by Albert Einstein
It should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid.
Albert Einstein
The future is an unknown, but a somewhat predictable unknown. To look to the future we must first look back upon the past. That is where the seeds of the future were planted. I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.
Albert Einstein
The most important tool of the theoretical physicist is his wastebasket.
Albert Einstein
A bartender is just a pharmacist with a limited inventory.
Albert Einstein
It may affront the military-minded person to suggest a regime that does not maintain any military secrets.
Albert Einstein

Common sense consists of those layers of prejudice laid down before the age of 18.
Albert Einstein
Out of clutter, find simplicity.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think
Albert Einstein
I have little patience with scientists who take a board of wood, look for its thinnest part, and drill a great number of holes where drilling is easy.
Albert Einstein
Conventional words or other signs have to be sought for laboriously only in a second stage, where the associative play already referred to is sufficiently established and can be reproduced at will.
Albert Einstein
Organized people are just too lazy to go looking for what they want.
Albert Einstein
The strength of the Constitution lies entirely in the determination of each citizen to defend it. Only if every single citizen feels duty bound to do his share in this defense are the constitutional rights secure.
Albert Einstein
The majority of the stupid is invincible and guaranteed for all time. The terror of their tyranny, however, is alleviated by their lack of consistency.
Albert Einstein
My sense of god is my sense of wonder about the universe.
Albert Einstein
Everybody should be ashamed who uses the wonders of science and engineering without thinking and having mentally realized not more of it than a cow realizes of the botany of the plants which it eats with pleasure.
Albert Einstein
Concepts that have proven useful in ordering things easily achieve such authority over us that we forget their earthly origins and accept them as unalterable givens.
Albert Einstein
You cannot love a car the way you love a horse. The horse brings out human feelings the way machines cannot do. Things like machines may develop or neglect certain things in people ... Machines make our life impersonal and stultify certain elements in us and create an impersonal environment.
Albert Einstein
