More quotes by Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
The chicken did not cross the road. The road passed beneath the chicken.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
Bear in mind that the wonderful things you learn in your schools are the work of many generations. All this is put in your hands as your inheritance in order that you may receive it, honor it, add to it, and one day faithfully hand it on to your children.
Albert Einstein
The ideas that have lighted my way have been kindness, beauty and truth.
Albert Einstein
America is a democracy and has no Hitler, but I am afraid for her future there are hard times ahead for the American people, troubles will be coming from within and without. America cannot smile away their Negro problem nor Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There are cosmic laws.
Albert Einstein
It stands to the everlasting credit of science that by acting on the human mind it has overcome man's insecurity before himself and before nature.
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
Hunger, love, pain, fear are some of those inner forces which rule the individual's instinct for self preservation.
Albert Einstein
But then, after all, we are all alike, for we are all derived from the monkey.
Albert Einstein
Why is it that no one understands me and everybody likes me
