Quote

As for the search for truth, I know from my own painful searching, with its many blind alleys, how hard it is to take a reliable step, be it ever so small, towards the understanding of that which is truly significant.

We are boxed in by the boundary conditions of our thinking
Albert Einstein

All the fifty years of conscious brooding have brought me no closer to answer the question, What are light quanta? Of course today every rascal thinks he knows the answer, but he is deluding himself.
Albert Einstein
Image
If the bees disappear, man would have only four years of life left.
Albert Einstein
Image
The most precious things in life are not those you get for money.
Albert Einstein

It is abhorrent to me when a fine intelligence is paired with an unsavory character.
Albert Einstein
Image
The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.
Albert Einstein
Image
You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. A life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
Albert Einstein

Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn
Albert Einstein

We can't solve today's problems with the mentality that created them.
Albert Einstein
Image
The discovery of nuclear chain reactions need not bring about the destruction of mankind any more than did the discovery of matches. We only must do everything in our power to safeguard against its abuse. Only a supranational organization, equipped with a sufficiently strong executive power, can protect us.
Albert Einstein

The mathematician knows some things, no doubt, but not those things one usually wants to get from him.
Albert Einstein
Image
Not all things worth counting are countable and not all things that count are worth counting.
Albert Einstein
Image
For any one who is pervaded with the sense of causal law in all that happens, who accepts in real earnest the assumption of causality, the idea of a Being who interferes with the sequence of events in the world is absolutely impossible. Neither the religion of fear nor the social-moral religion can have any hold on him.
Albert Einstein
Image
In the past it never occurred to me that every casual remark of mine would be snatched up and recorded. Otherwise I would have crept further into my shell.
Albert Einstein
Image
Communities tend to be guided less than individuals by conscience and a sense of responsibility. How much misery does this fact cause mankind! It is the source of wars and every kind of oppression, which fill the earth with pain, sighs and bitterness.
Albert Einstein
Image
An expert is a person who has few new ideas a beginner is a person with many.
Albert Einstein
Image
Since others have explained my theory, I can no longer understand it myself.
Albert Einstein
Image
I feel that you are justified in looking into the future with true assurance, because you have a mode of living in which we find the joy of life and the joy of work harmoniously combined. Added to this is the spirit of ambition which pervades your very being, and seems to make the day's work like a happy child at play.
Albert Einstein
Image
We must begin to inculcate our children against militarism by educating them in the spirit of pacifism. Our schoolbooks glorify war and conceal it's horror. I would teach peace rather than war.
Albert Einstein
Image
My internal and external life depend so much on the work of others that I must make an extreme effort to give as much as I receive.
