More quotes by Albert Einstein
The individual who has experienced solitude will not easily become a victim of mass suggestion.
Albert Einstein
For any one who is pervaded with the sense of causal law in all that happens, who accepts in real earnest the assumption of causality, the idea of a Being who interferes with the sequence of events in the world is absolutely impossible. Neither the religion of fear nor the social-moral religion can have any hold on him.
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
One should respect an honest person even if he expresses opinions differing from one's own.
Albert Einstein
Academic chairs are many, but wise and noble teachers are few lecture-rooms are numerous and large, but the number of young people who genuinely thirst after truth and justice is small
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
It is the duty of every citizen according to his best capacities to give validity to his convictions in political affairs.
Albert Einstein
Berlin is the place to which I am most closely bound by human and scientific ties.
Albert Einstein
Indeed, it is not intellect, but intuition which advances humanity. Intuition tells man his purpose in this life.
Albert Einstein
I do not much believe in education. Each person ought to be his or her own model, however frightful that may be.
Albert Einstein
I see only with deep regret that God punishes so many of His children for their numerous stupidities, for which only He Himself can be held responsible in my opinion, only His nonexistence could excuse Him.
Albert Einstein
If a theory can not be explained to a child, then the theory is probably worthless.
Albert Einstein
The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.
Albert Einstein
The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. The religion which based on experience, which refuses dogmatic. If there's any religion that would cope the scientific needs it will be Buddhism.
Albert Einstein
