Quote

I see only with deep regret that God punishes so many of His children for their numerous stupidities, for which only He Himself can be held responsible in my opinion, only His nonexistence could excuse Him.

Albert is a very poor student. He is mentally slow, unsociable and is always daydreaming. He is spoiling it for the rest of the class. It would be in the best interests of all if he were removed from school immediately.
Albert Einstein

The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.
Albert Einstein
Image
Life is a Mystery, not a problem waiting to be solved.
Albert Einstein
Image
In quitting this strange world he has once again preceded me by a little. That doesn't mean anything. For those of us who believe in physics, this separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, however tenacious.
Albert Einstein

If you have never failed, you have never tried anything new.
Albert Einstein
Image
Only in mathematics and physics was I, through self-study, far beyond the school curriculum, and also with regard to philosophy as it was taught in the school curriculum.
Albert Einstein
Image
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms.

It is also a natural thing for a serious young man that he should form for himself as precise an idea as possible of the goal of his desires.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is best, it seems to me, to separate one's inner striving from one's trade as far as possible. It is not good when one's daily break is tied to God's special blessing.
Albert Einstein
Image
Science can only state what is, not what should be.
Albert Einstein
Image
The wireless telegraph is not difficult to understand. The ordinary telegraph is like a very long cat. You pull the tail in New York, and it meows in Los Angeles. The wireless is the same, only without the cat.

(Reply on what constitutes scientific proof:)The question is much too difficult for me.
Albert Einstein
Image
As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue.
Albert Einstein
Image
I see a pattern, but my imagination cannot picture the maker of that pattern. I see a clock, but I cannot envision the clockmaker. The human mind is unable to conceive of the four dimensions, so how can it conceive of a God, before whom a thousand years and a thousand dimensions are as one?

Go out as far as you can go and start from there
Albert Einstein

There will come a point in everyone's life , however, where only intuition can make the leap ahead, without ever knowing precisely how. One can never know why but one must accept intuition as a fact.

The release of atomic power has changed everything except our way of thinking ... the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker. (1945)

Each act is an island in time, to be judged on its own.

You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war. The very prevention of war requires more faith, courage and resolution than are needed to prepare for war. We must all do our share, that we may be equal to the task of peace.
Albert Einstein

All such action would cease if those powerful elemental forces were to cease stirring within us.
