Out yonder there was this huge world...which stands before us like a great eternal riddle.
Albert Einstein
Image
I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
Albert Einstein
Image
To be sure, it is not the fruits of scientific research that elevate a man and enrich his nature, but the urge to understand, the intellectual work, creative or receptive.
Albert Einstein
Image
In matters of trust and justice there can be no distinction between big problems and small, for the general principles which determine the conduct of men are indivisible. Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted in important affairs.
Albert Einstein
Image
Scientists investigate that which already is Engineers create that which has never been.
Albert Einstein

Our entire much-praised technological progress, and civilization generally, could be compared to an axe in the hand of a pathological criminal.
Albert Einstein

It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.

If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare me a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German, and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.

The future is not a gift-it is an achievement.
Albert Einstein
Image
Many of the things you can count, don't count. Many of the things you can't count, really count.
Albert Einstein
Image
Don't dream of being a good person, be a human being is valuable and gives value to life.
Albert Einstein
Image
Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.
Albert Einstein
Image
We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.
Albert Einstein
Image
Insofar as we may at all claim that slavery has been abolished today, we owe its abolition to the practical consequences of science
Albert Einstein
Image
My pacifism is an instinctive feeling, a feeling that possesses me because the murder of men is disgusting. My attitude is not derived from any intellectual theory but is based on my deepest antipathy to every kind of cruelty and hatred.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am of the opinion that all the finer speculations in the realm of science spring from a deep religious feeling, and that without such feeling they would not be fruitful.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have become rather like King Midas, except that everything turns not into gold but into a circus.

Fraulein Noether was the most significant creative mathematical genius thus far produced since the higher education of women began.
