More quotes by Albert Einstein
It strikes me as unfair, and even in bad taste, to select a few of them for boundless admiration, attributing superhuman powers of mind and character to them. This has been my fate, and the contrast between the popular estimate of my powers and achievements and the reality is simply grotesque.
Albert Einstein
Peace cannot be kept by force it can only be achieved by understanding.
Albert Einstein
Since 99.362% of women love mustache rides, it seems only a fool would have a bare upper lip.
Albert Einstein
The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms.
Albert Einstein
Given the millions of billions of Earth-like planets, life elsewhere in the Universe without a doubt, does exist. In the vastness of the Universe we are not alone.
Albert Einstein
If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?
Albert Einstein
Insofar as mathematics is true, it does not describe the real world. Insofar as it describes the real world, it is not true.
Albert Einstein
A conflict arises when a religious community insists on the absolute truthfulness of all statements recorded in the Bible. This means an intervention on the part of religion into the sphere of science this is where the struggle of the Church against doctrines of Galileo and Darwin belongs.
Albert Einstein
I am also convinced that one gains the purest joy from spirited things only when they are not tied in with earning one's livelihood.
Albert Einstein
I am strongly drawn to a frugal life and am often oppressively aware that I am engrossing an undue amount of the labor of my fellow men.
Albert Einstein
I cannot conceive of a personal God who would directly influence the actions of individuals, or would directly sit in judgment on creatures of his own creation.
Albert Einstein
A perfection of means, and confusion of aims, seems to be our main problem.
Albert Einstein
Everything that exists in your life, does so because of two things: something you did or something you didn't do.
Albert Einstein
One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike -- and yet it is the most precious thing we have.
Albert Einstein
If they want to see me, here I am. If they want to see my clothes, open my closet and show them my suits.
Albert Einstein
I wish to do something Great and Wonderful, but I must start by doing the little things like they were Great and Wonderful
Albert Einstein
In my personal experience I have hardly come to know the wretchedness of mankind better than as a result of the general theory of relativity and everything connected to it. But it doesn't bother me.
Albert Einstein
Since I do not forsee that atomic energy is to be a great boon for a long time, I have to say that for the present it is a menace. Perhaps it is well that it should be. It may intimidate the human race into bringing order into its international affairs, which, without the presence of fear, it would not do.
Albert Einstein
A tyranny based on ... deception and maintained by terror must inevitably perish from the poison it generates within itself.
Albert Einstein
Solitude is painful when one is young, but delightful when one is more mature.
Albert Einstein
