More quotes by Albert Einstein

I have reached the conviction that the abolition of the death penalty is desirable. Reasons: 1) Irreparability in the event of an error of justice, 2) Detrimental moral influence of the execution procedure on those who, whether directly or indirectly, have to do with the procedure.
Albert Einstein

... the desire for truth must take precedence over all other desires.
Albert Einstein
Image
[There is] a duty in refusing to cooperate in any undertaking that violates the Constitutional rights of the individual. This holds in particular for all inquisitions that are concerned with the private life and the political affiliations of the citizens.
Albert Einstein
Image
Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.

We sleep 1/3 of our lives away.

I cannot then believe in this concept of an anthropomorphic God who has the powers of interfering with these natural laws. As I said before, the most beautiful and most profound religious emotion that we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. And this mysticality is the power of all true science.
Albert Einstein

To act intelligently in human affairs is only possible if an attempt is made to understand the thoughts, motives, and apprehension of one's opponent so fully that one can see the world through their eyes.
Albert Einstein
Image
You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. A life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
Albert Einstein
Image
Do things sound better in your head before you say them, or do you even run them through there first?
Albert Einstein
Image
The emotional state that leads to achievements resembles that of a worshiper or the lover.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have never obtained any ethical values from my scientific work.
Albert Einstein
Image
I make it a rule not to clutter my mind with simple information that I can find in a book in five minutes.
Albert Einstein
Image
It may be possible to fight intolerance, stupidity, and fanaticism seperately, but when they come together there is no hope.
Albert Einstein
Image
The world will not evolve past its current state of crisis by using the same thinking that created the situation.
Albert Einstein
Image
I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.
Albert Einstein
Image
I should very much like to remain in the darkness of not having been analyzed.
Albert Einstein
Image
If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.
Albert Einstein
Image
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
Image
I agree with your remark about loving your enemy as far as actions are concerned. But for me the cognitive basis is the trust in an unrestricted causality. 'I cannot hate him, because he must do what he does.' That means for me more Spinoza than the prophets.
Albert Einstein

To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself.
Albert Einstein
