The foundation of morality should not be made dependent on myth nor tied to any authority lest doubt about the myth or about the legitimacy of the authority imperil the foundation of sound judgment and action.

More quotes by Albert Einstein
Private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information. It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.
Albert Einstein
Never let yourself be seduced by any problem, no matter how difficult.
Albert Einstein
Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.
Albert Einstein
For any one who is pervaded with the sense of causal law in all that happens, who accepts in real earnest the assumption of causality, the idea of a Being who interferes with the sequence of events in the world is absolutely impossible. Neither the religion of fear nor the social-moral religion can have any hold on him.
Albert Einstein
To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.
Albert Einstein
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
The real problem is in the hearts and minds of men. It is not a problem of physics but of ethics. It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man.
Albert Einstein
Don't let your brain interfere with your heart.
Albert Einstein
I have yet to figure out whether it is I am that am crazy, or the world.
Albert Einstein
Be a loner. That gives you time to wonder.
Albert Einstein
One can only continue to expect to be read if one omits everything that is unimportant.
Albert Einstein
Although words exist for the most part for the transmission of ideas, there are some which produce such violent disturbance in our feelings that the role they play in the transmission of ideas is lost in the background.
Albert Einstein
No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.
Albert Einstein
When I was still a rather precocious young man, I already realized most vividly the futility of the hopes and aspirations that most men pursue throughout their lives.
Albert Einstein
The Press, which is mostly controlled by vested interests, has an excessive influence on public opinion.
Albert Einstein
It may be possible to fight intolerance, stupidity, and fanaticism seperately, but when they come together there is no hope.
Albert Einstein
You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.
Albert Einstein
Balance in large measure is knowing the things that can be changed, putting them in proper perspective, and recognizing the things that will not change.
Albert Einstein
It is only men who are free, who create the inventions and intellectual works which to us moderns make life worth while.
Albert Einstein
I have become an obstinate heretic in the eyes of my colleagues. Momentary success carries more power of conviction than reflections upon principles.
Albert Einstein
