More quotes by Albert Einstein
What is significant in one's own existence one is hardly aware, and it certainly should not bother the other fellow. What does a fish know about the water in which he swims all his life?
Albert Einstein
Time is an illusion.
Albert Einstein
The only way to escape the personal corruption of praise is to go on working. One is tempted to stop and listen to it. The only thing is to turn away and go on working. Work. There is nothing else.
Albert Einstein
By academic freedom I understand the right to search for truth and to publish and teach what one holds to be true. This right also implies a duty: one must not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true.
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
Any fool can know. The point is to understand.
Albert Einstein
The life of the individual has meaning only insofar as it aids in making the life of every living thing nobler and more beautiful. Life is sacred, that is to say, it is the supreme value, to which all other values are subordinate.
Albert Einstein
Why is it that no one understands me and everybody likes me
Albert Einstein
The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before.
Albert Einstein
In my relativity theory I set up a clock at every point in space, but in reality I find it difficult to provide even one clock in my room.
Albert Einstein
I advocate world government because I am convinced that there is no other possible way of eliminating the most terrible danger in which man has ever found himself. The objective of avoiding total destruction must have priority over any other objective.
Albert Einstein
I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.
Albert Einstein
I have tried 99 times and have failed, but on the 100th time came success.
Albert Einstein
In my view, it is the most important function of art and science to awaken this feeling and keep it alive in those who are capable of it.
Albert Einstein
The concept of marriage must have been thought up by an unimaginative pig.
Albert Einstein
If I would be a young man again and had to decide how to make my living, I would not try to become a scientist or scholar or teacher. I would rather choose to be a plumber or a peddler in hope to find that modest degree of independence still available under present circumstances.
Albert Einstein
The truth of a theory can never be proven, for one never knows if future experience will contradict its conclusions.
Albert Einstein
Why does this magnificent applied science which saves work and makes life easier bring us so little happiness? ... The simple answer runs: 'Because we have not yet learned to make sensible use of it.'
Albert Einstein
The only rational way of educating is to be an example. If one can't help it, a warning example.
Albert Einstein
The world needs heroes and it's better they be harmless men like me than villains like Hitler
Albert Einstein
