More quotes by Albert Einstein
Time flies when you are having fun.
Albert Einstein
Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Albert Einstein
What is essential in the life of a man of my kind is what he thinks and how he thinks, and not what he does or suffers.
Albert Einstein
Since the mathematicians have invaded the theory of relativity I do not understand it myself any more.
Albert Einstein
Do not grow old, no matter how long you live. Never cease to stand like curious children before the Great Mystery into which we were born.

Albert Einstein
The great moral teachers of humanity were in a way artistic geniuses in the art of living.
Albert Einstein
Conviction is a good motive, but a bad judge.
Albert Einstein
It would seem that men always need some idiotic fiction in the name of which they can hate one another. Once it was religion. Now it is the State.
Albert Einstein
We experience ourselves our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.
Albert Einstein
Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.
Albert Einstein
It is a magnificent feeling to recognize the unity of complex phenomena which appear to be things quite apart from the direct visible truth.
Albert Einstein
Despite my being an old gypsy there is a tendency to respectability inherent in old age.
Albert Einstein
