More quotes by Albert Einstein
The individual feels the vanity of human desires and aims, and the nobility and marvelous order which are revealed in nature and in the world of thought. He feels the individual destiny as an imprisonment and seeks to experience the totality of existence as a unity full of significance.
Albert Einstein
[Asked about a book in which 100 Nazi professors charged him with scientific error.] Were I wrong, one professor would have been quite enough.
Albert Einstein
My primary process of perceiving is muscular and visual.
Albert Einstein
Except in mathematics, the shortest distance between point A and point B is seldom a straight line. I don't believe in mathematics.
Albert Einstein
God is clever, but not dishonest.
Albert Einstein
The solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind.
Albert Einstein
Please explain the problem to me slowly, as I do not understand things quickly.
Albert Einstein
Since the mathematicians have invaded the theory of relativity I do not understand it myself any more.
Albert Einstein
Each of us is here for a brief sojourn for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.
Albert Einstein
The magic of compounding interest is truly the eighth wonder of the world!
Albert Einstein
The place of the expert is on tap not on top.
Albert Einstein
I was originally supposed to become an engineer but the thought of having to expend my creative energy on things that make practical everyday life even more refined, with a loathsome capital gain as the goal, was unbearable to me.
Albert Einstein
We cannot despair about mankind knowing that Mozart was a man.
Albert Einstein
I have made no secret, either privately or publicly, of any sense of outrage over officially enforced military and war service. I regard it as a duty of conscience to fight against such barbarous enslavement of the individual with every means available.
Albert Einstein
Human knowledge and skills alone cannot lead humanity to a happy and dignified life. Humanity has every reason to place the proclaimers of high moral standards and values above the discoverers of objective truth.
Albert Einstein
Any power must be an enemy of mankind which enslaves the individual by power and by force, whether it arises under the Fascist or the Communist flag. All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded to the individual.
Albert Einstein
The really valuable thing in the pageant of human life seems to me not the political state, but the creative, sentient individual, the personality it alone creates the noble and the sublime, while the herd as such remains dull in thought and dull in feeling.
Albert Einstein
A man's value to the community primarily depends on how far his feelings, thoughts, and actions are directed towards promoting the good of his fellows.
Albert Einstein
Stupidity is a personal achievement which transcends national boundaries.
Albert Einstein
E=mc2. Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared. The original statement is: If a body gives off the energy L in the form of radiation, its mass diminishes by L/c2. Ist die Tragheit eines Korpers von Seinem Energieghalt Abhangig? 1905
Albert Einstein
