We are part of the whole which we call the universe, but it is an optical delusion of our mind that we think we are separate. This separateness is like a prison for us. Our job is to widen the circle of our compassion so we feel connected with all people and situations.

(Reply on what constitutes scientific proof:)The question is much too difficult for me.
Albert Einstein
Image
In the beginning (if there was such a thing), God created Newton's laws of motion together with the necessary masses and forces. This is all everything beyond this follows from the development of appropriate mathematical methods by means of deduction.

One must shy away from questionable undertakings, even when they bear a high-sounding name.
Albert Einstein

What good is a reputation not put to good use.

The most important tool of the theoretical physicist is his wastebasket.

I believe, indeed, that overemphasis on the purely intellectual attitude, often directed solely to the practical and factual, in our education, has led directly to the impairment of ethical values.
Albert Einstein

You cannot solve current problems with current thinking. Current problems are the result of current thinking.

In the matter of physics, the first lessons should contain nothing but what is experimental and interesting to see. A pretty experiment is in itself often more valuable than twenty formulae extracted from our minds.
