Albert Einstein

It is best, it seems to me, to separate one's inner striving from one's trade as far as possible. It is not good when one's daily break is tied to God's special blessing.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
Image
I cannot accept any concept of God based on the fear of life or the fear of death, or blind faith. I cannot prove to you that there is no personal God, but if I were to speak of him I would be a liar.
Albert Einstein

The next world war will be fought with stones.
Albert Einstein

Generations to come will find it difficult to believe that a man such as Gandhi ever walked the face of this earth.
Albert Einstein
Image
Bureaucracy is the death of all sound work.
Albert Einstein

Nothing truly valuable can be achieved except by the unselfish cooperation of many individuals.
Albert Einstein

Intuitive powers played a central role in my scientific work, not wild speculation, yet a valued resource when no other approach was available.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is really a puzzle what drives one to take one's work so devilishly seriously.
Albert Einstein
Image
Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it ... he who doesn't ... pays it.
Albert Einstein
