We have to do the best we are capable of. This is our sacred human responsibility.
Albert Einstein

The opinion prevailed among advanced minds that it was time that belief should be replaced increasingly by knowledge belief that did not itself rest on knowledge was superstition, and as such had to be opposed.
Albert Einstein
Image
There is one ray of hope. It seems to me that today the responsible leaders of the several peoples have, in the main, the honest will to abolish war.
Albert Einstein

To my mind, to kill in war is not a whit better than to commit ordinary murder.
Albert Einstein
Image
Every kind of peaceful cooperation among men is primarily based on mutual trust and only secondarily on institutions such as courts of justice and police.
Albert Einstein

In my opinion there is no other salvation for civilization and even for the human race than the creation of a world government with security on the basis of law. As long as there are sovereign states with their separate armaments and armament secrets, new world wars cannot be avoided.
Albert Einstein

I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express in words afterwards.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is little short of a miracle that modern methods of instruction have not already completely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry.... I believe that one could even deprive a healthy beast of prey of its voraciousness if one could force it with a whip to eat continuously whether it were hungry or not.
Albert Einstein
Image
No idea is conceived in our mind independent of our five senses [i.e., no idea is divinely inspired].
Albert Einstein
Image
Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.
Albert Einstein
Image
The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogmas and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description.
Albert Einstein

The most important method of education always has consisted of that in which the pupil was urged to actual performance.
Albert Einstein
Image
The next world war will be fought with stones.
Albert Einstein
Image
Problems cannot be solved by thinking within the framework in which the problems were created.
Albert Einstein
Image
Since others have explained my theory, I can no longer understand it myself.
Albert Einstein
Image
How many people are trapped in their everyday habits: part numb, part frightened, part indifferent? To have a better life we must keep choosing how we are living.
Albert Einstein
Image
You cannot beat a roulette table unless you steal money from it.
Albert Einstein
Image
Although I am a typical loner in my daily life, my awareness of belonging to the invisible community of those who strive for truth, beauty, and justice has prevented me from feelings of isolation.
Albert Einstein

Small is the number of people who see with their eyes and think with their minds.
