More quotes by Albert Einstein
The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.
Albert Einstein
A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty - it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man.
Albert Einstein
All of us who are concerned for peace and triumph of reason and justice must be keenly aware how small an influence reason and honest good will exert upon events in the political field.
Albert Einstein
I believe that I have really found the relationship between gravitation and electricity, assuming that the Miller experiments are based on a fundamental error. Otherwise, the whole relativity theory collapses like a house of cards.
Albert Einstein
X + Y + Z X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.
Albert Einstein
Everyone likes me, yet nobody understands me.
Albert Einstein
Scientists believe that every occurrence, including the affairs of human beings, is due to the laws of nature. Therefore a scientist cannot be inclined to believe that the course of events can be influenced by prayer, that is, by a supernaturally manifested wish.
Albert Einstein
The state is made for man, not man for the state.... That is to say, the state should be our servant and not we its slaves
Albert Einstein
Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
Albert Einstein
Adversity introduces a man to himself.
Albert Einstein
No worthy problem is ever solved within the plane of its original conception.
Albert Einstein
So I am living without fats, without meat, without fish, but am feeling quite well this way. It always seems to me that man was not born to be a carnivore.
Albert Einstein
The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.
Albert Einstein
Where you see difficulty, I see opportunity.
Albert Einstein
A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and his feelings as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of consciousness.
Albert Einstein
The future is of greater interest to me than the past, since that is where I intend to spend the rest of my life.
Albert Einstein
We must begin to inculcate our children against militarism by educating them in the spirit of pacifism. Our schoolbooks glorify war and conceal it's horror. I would teach peace rather than war.
Albert Einstein
This is too difficult for a mathematician. It takes a philosopher. The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.
Albert Einstein
I assert that the cosmic religious experience is the strongest and the noblest driving force behind scientific research.
Albert Einstein
Hail to the man who went through life always helping others, knowing no fear, and to whom aggressiveness and resentment are alien. Such is the stuff of which the great moral leaders are made.
Albert Einstein
