More quotes by Albert Einstein
Concepts that have proven useful in ordering things easily achieve such authority over us that we forget their earthly origins and accept them as unalterable givens.
Albert Einstein
A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin what else does a man need to be happy.
Albert Einstein
Dostoevsky gives me more than any scientist, more than Gauss.
Albert Einstein
The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. It is the source of all true art and science. He who knows it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle.
Albert Einstein
Don't listen to the person who has the answers listen to the person who has the questions.
Albert Einstein
I prefer to make up my own quotes and attribute them to very smart people, so that I can use them to win arguments
Albert Einstein
I love to travel, but hate to arrive.
Albert Einstein
The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and truth. To make a goal of comfort or happiness has never appealed to me a system of ethics built on this basis would be sufficient only for a herd of cattle.
Albert Einstein
So long as there are men, there will be wars.
Albert Einstein
Our defense is not in our armaments, nor in science, nor in going underground. Our defense is in law and order.
Albert Einstein
Learning is experience. Everything else is just information.
Albert Einstein
Highly developed spirits often encounter resistance from mediocre minds.
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
The formulation of the problem is often more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill.
Albert Einstein
The payment of the worker is not determined by the value of his product.
Albert Einstein
The power of imagination is the ultimate creative power.. no doubt about that. While knowledge defines all we currently know and understand.. imagination points to all we might yet discover and create. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Your imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions
Albert Einstein
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
Albert Einstein
Intuitive powers played a central role in my scientific work, not wild speculation, yet a valued resource when no other approach was available.
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
To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is a something that our mind cannot grasp and whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly and as a feeble reflection, this is religiousness. In this sense I am religious.
Albert Einstein
