A theory is the more impressive the greater is the simplicity of its premises, the more different are the kinds of things it relates and the more extended the range of its applicability.

More quotes by Albert Einstein

Image
Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.
Albert Einstein
Image
Human knowledge and skills alone cannot lead humanity to a happy and dignified life. Humanity has every reason to place the proclaimers of high moral standards and values above the discoverers of objective truth.
Albert Einstein
Image
Genius simply cannot be reduced to a set of rules for anyone to follow.
Albert Einstein
Image
The health of society thus depends quite as much on the independence of the individuals composing it as on their close political cohesion.
Albert Einstein
Image
The man of science is a poor philosopher.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
Image
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
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

No one does anything right in life, until they realize that they are making a mistake
Albert Einstein
Image
Philosophers play with the word, like a child with a doll.... It does not mean that everything in life is relative.
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.
Albert Einstein

The genius is in making the complex simple.
Albert Einstein
Image
If you took half of something and continued to take half of that half and so on, you would never reach an end.
Albert Einstein
Image
We must recognize what in our accepted tradition is damaging to our fate and dignity-and shape our lives accordingly.
Albert Einstein
Image
Imagination is vastly more important than intelligence.
Albert Einstein
Image
The only rational way of educating is to be an example. If one can't help it, a warning example.
Albert Einstein
Image
When you won't be able to describe it simply just, you don't are aware of it well sufficient.

Live with purpose. Don't let people or things around you get you down.
