To get to know a country, you must have direct contact with the earth. It's futile to gaze at the world through a car window.
Albert Einstein
Image
But there is another reason for the high repute of mathematics: it is mathematics that offers the exact natural sciences a certain measure of security which, without mathematics, they could not attain.
Albert Einstein
Image
Any power must be an enemy of mankind which enslaves the individual by power and by force, whether it arises under the Fascist or the Communist flag. All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded to the individual.
Albert Einstein
Image
The importance of a problem should not be judged by the number of pages devoted to it.
Albert Einstein
Image
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?

While it is true that science, to the extent of its grasp of causative connections, may reach important conclusions as to the compatibility and incompatibility of goals and evaluations, the independent and fundamental definitions regarding goals and values remain beyond science's reach.
Albert Einstein

New frameworks are like climbing a mountain - the larger view encompasses rather than rejects the more restricted view.
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

I believe that Gandhi’s views were the most enlightened of all the political men of our time.
Albert Einstein
Image
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.
Albert Einstein
Image
That a man can take pleasure in marching in formation to the strains of a band is enough to make me despise him. He has only been given his big brain by mistake a backbone was all he needed.
Albert Einstein
Image
The heart says yes, but the mind says no.
Albert Einstein
Image
Anyone who thinks science is trying to make human life easier or more pleasant is utterly mistaken.
Albert Einstein
Image
The only rational way of educating is to be an example. If one can't help it, a warning example.
Albert Einstein
Image
The creative principle [of science] resides in mathematics.
Albert Einstein
Image
The truth isn't always a blinding light. Sometimes it's a deep and dazzling darkness, that illuminates - and burns - just as surely.
Albert Einstein
Image
The Bible is a great source of wisdom and consolation and should be read frequently.
Albert Einstein

There could be no greater calamity than a permanent discord between us and the Arab people. Despite the great wrong that has been done us, we must strive for a just and lasting compromise with the Arab people Let us recall that in former times no people lived in greater friendship with us than the ancestors of these Arabs.

If we think of the field as being removed, there is no 'space' which remains, since space does not have an independent existence.
