More quotes by Albert Einstein
Discussion and argument are essential parts of science the greatest talent is the ability to strip a theory until the simple basic idea emerges with clarity.
Albert Einstein
If you've never failed, you've never tried anything new.
Albert Einstein
With fame I become more and more stupid, which of course is a very common phenomenon.
Albert Einstein
I take it to be true that pure thought can grasp the real, as the ancients had dreamed.
Albert Einstein
There are few enough people with sufficient independence to see the weaknesses and follies of their contemporaries and remain themselves untouched by them.
Albert Einstein
Analytics will never tell you everything you want to know.
Albert Einstein
In science, moreover, the work of the individual is so bound up with that of his scientific predecessors and contemporaries that it appears almost as an impersonal product of his generation.
Albert Einstein
It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure.
Albert Einstein
Time is an illusion.
Albert Einstein
I like the Swiss because by and large they are more humane than the other people aming whom I have lived.
Albert Einstein
Nobody knows how the stand of our knowledge about the atom would be without him. Personally, [Niels] Bohr is one of the amiable colleagues I have met. He utters his opinions like one perpetually groping and never like one who believes himself to be in possession of the truth.
Albert Einstein
I think 99 times and find nothing. I stop thinking, swim in the silence, and the truth comes to me.
Albert Einstein
The feeling for what ought and ought not to be grows and dies like a tree, and no fertilizer of any kind will do much good. What the individual can do is give a fine example, and have the courage to firmly uphold ethical convictions in a society of cynics. I have for a long time tried to conduct myself this way, with varying success.
Albert Einstein
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms.
Albert Einstein
Stupidity is a personal achievement which transcends national boundaries.
Albert Einstein
One has to realize that the powerful industrial groups concerned in the manufacture of arms are doing their best in all countries to prevent the peaceful settlement of international disputes, and that rulers can achieve this great end only if they are sure of the vigorous support of the majority of their peoples.
Albert Einstein
Blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of truth.
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
Indeed, it is not intellect, but intuition which advances humanity. Intuition tells man his purpose in this life.
Albert Einstein
What counts can't always be counted what can be counted doesn't always count.
Albert Einstein
