More quotes by Albert Einstein
The moon does not simply disappear when we are not looking at it.
Albert Einstein
While it is true that science, to the extent of its grasp of causative connections, may reach important conclusions as to the compatibility and incompatibility of goals and evaluations, the independent and fundamental definitions regarding goals and values remain beyond science's reach.
Albert Einstein
Experts are just trained dogs.
Albert Einstein
The normal objective of my thought affords no insight into the dark places of human will and feeling.
Albert Einstein
It is my fate to be considered an authority, since I spent my youth rebelling against it.
Albert Einstein
Why do people speak of great men in terms of nationality? Great Germans, great Englishmen? Goethe always protested against being called a German poet. Great men are simply men and are not to be considered from the point of view of nationality, nor should the environment in which they were brought up be taken into account.
Albert Einstein
I am strongly drawn to the simple life and am often oppressed by the feeling that I am engrossing an unnecessary amount of the labour of my fellow men. I regard class differences as contrary to justice and, in the last resort, based on force. I also consider that plain living is good for everybody, physically and mentally.
Albert Einstein
Fear or stupidity has always been the basis of most human actions.
Albert Einstein
Out yonder there is this huge world, which exists independently of us human beings and which stands before us like a great, eternal riddle, at least partially accessible to our inspection and thinking
Albert Einstein
What I see in Nature is a grand design that we can understand only imperfectly, one with which a responsible person must look at with humility.
Albert Einstein
Everything has changed, except our way of thinking.
Albert Einstein
Do you believe in miracles? Well, you should. In fact, life itself is a big miracle. There are so many things that are beyond our understanding. There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle you can live as if everything is a miracle.
Albert Einstein
Opinions about obviousness are to a certain extent a function of time.
Albert Einstein
The idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I am unable to take seriously.
Albert Einstein
To me it is enough to wonder at the secrets
Albert Einstein
My position concerning God is that of an agnostic. I am convinced that a vivid consciousness of the primary importance of moral principles for the betterment and ennoblement of life does not need the idea of a law-giver, especially a law-giver who works on the basis of reward and punishment.
Albert Einstein
The basic laws of the universe are simple, but because our senses are limited, we can’t grasp them. There is a pattern in creation.
Albert Einstein
...the physicist cannot simply surrender to the philosopher the critical contemplation of the theoretical foundations for, he himself knows best, and feels more surely where the shoe pinches...Physical conceptions are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world.
Albert Einstein
The State is made for Mankind, not mankind for the state
Albert Einstein
If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?
Albert Einstein
