More quotes by Albert Einstein

Image
During the youthful period of mankind's spiritual evolution human fantasy created gods in man's own image, who, by the operations of their will were supposed to determine, or at any rate to influence, the phenomenal world. Man sought to alter the disposition of these gods in his own favour by means of magic and prayer.

It was the experience of mystery - even if mixed with fear - that engendered religion.
Albert Einstein
Image
All of us who are concerned for peace and triumph of reason and justice must be keenly aware how small an influence reason and honest good will exert upon events in the political field.
Albert Einstein
Image
Time is what the clock says.
Albert Einstein
Image
Strange is our situation here on earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.
Albert Einstein
Image
We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams.
Albert Einstein
Image
Be a loner. That gives you time to wonder, to search for the truth. Have holy curiosity. Make your life worth living.
Albert Einstein
Image
I assert that the cosmic religious experience is the strongest and the noblest driving force behind scientific research.
Albert Einstein
Image
Common sense invents and constructs no less than its own field than science does in its domain. It is, however, in the nature of common sense not to be aware of this situation.
Albert Einstein
Image
Time has no independent existence apart from the order of events by which we measure it.
Albert Einstein
Image
I should much rather see a reasonable agreement with Arabs based upon living together than the creation of a Jewish state.
Albert Einstein
Image
If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.
Albert Einstein
Image
I'm more interested in the future than in the past, because the future is where I intend to live.
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
Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as a hard duty.
Albert Einstein
Image
The devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life. Either we suffer in our health, or we suffer in our soul, or we get fat.
Albert Einstein
Image
Of what significance is one's existence, one is basically unaware. What does a fish know about the water in which he swims all his life? The bitter and the sweet come from outside. The hard from within, from one's own efforts. For the most part I do what my own nature drives me to do. It is embarrassing to earn such respect and love for it.

Real sign of intelligence isn't knoweldge, it's imagination
Albert Einstein
Image
[Kepler] had to realize clearly that logical-mathematical theoretizing, no matter how lucid, could not guarantee truth by itself that the most beautiful logical theory means nothing in natural science without comparison with the exactest experience. Without this philosophic attitude, his work would not have been possible.
