More quotes by Albert Einstein
There is separation of colored people from white people in the United States. That separation is not a disease of colored people. It is a disease of white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it.
Albert Einstein
I want to know God's thoughts.
Albert Einstein
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
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
Albert Einstein
Compassionate people are geniuses in the art of living, more necessary to the dignity, security, and joy of humanity than the discoverers of knowledge.
Albert Einstein
Incompetence is the true crisis.
Albert Einstein
Older men start wars, but younger men fight them.
Albert Einstein
A desk, some pads, a pencil, and a large basket -- to hold all of mu mistakes.
Albert Einstein
The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man.
Albert Einstein
One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community.
Albert Einstein
Let me tell you what I look like: pale face, long hair, and a tiny start of a paunch. In addition, an awkward gait, and a cigar in the mouth and a pen in pocket or hand.
Albert Einstein
The human mind has first to construct forms, independently, before we can find them in things.
Albert Einstein
The truth of a theory can never be proven, for one never knows if future experience will contradict its conclusions.
Albert Einstein
How can any educated person stay away from the Greeks? I have always been far more interested in them than in science.
Albert Einstein
To know what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty... this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness.
Albert Einstein
The idle man does not know what it is to enjoy rest.
Albert Einstein
Education is not received. It is achieved.
Albert Einstein
He who has never been deceived by a lie does not know the meaning of bliss.
Albert Einstein
I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.
Albert Einstein
To put it boldly, it is the attempt at a posterior reconstruction of existence by the process of conceptualization.
Albert Einstein
