Quote

Nobody knows how the stand of our knowledge about the atom would be without him. Personally, [Niels] Bohr is one of the amiable colleagues I have met. He utters his opinions like one perpetually groping and never like one who believes himself to be in possession of the truth.

Albert Einstein

Any fool can know. The point is to understand.

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.
Albert Einstein
Image
Knowledge exists in two forms - lifeless, stored in books, and alive, in the consciousness of men. The second form of existence is after all the essential one the first, indispensable as it may be, occupies only an inferior position.
Albert Einstein

Science has gone a long way toward helping man to free himself from the burden of hard labor yet, science itself is not a liberator. It creates means, not goals. It is up to men to utilize those means to achieve reasonable goals.

This is a question too difficult for a mathematician. It should be asked of a philosopher(when asked about completing his income tax form)
Albert Einstein

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

X + Y + Z X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.

I should much rather see a reasonable agreement with Arabs based upon living together than the creation of a Jewish state.
