More quotes by Albert Einstein
The definition of genius is taking the complex and making it simple.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
There have already been published by the bucketsful such brazen lies and utter fictions about me that I would long since have gone to my grave if I had allowed myself to pay attention to them.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
If we have the courage to decide ourselves for peace we will have peace.
Albert Einstein
To see with one's own eyes, to feel and judge without succumbing to the suggestive power of the fashion of the day, to be able to express what one has seen and felt in a snappy sentence or even in a cunningly wrought word - is that not glorious? Is it not a proper subject for congregation?
Albert Einstein
Earth is the insane asylum of the universe.
Albert Einstein
In the midst of difficulty lies opportunity.
Albert Einstein
The thing is, not to stop questioning.
Albert Einstein
America is today the hope of all honorable men who respect the rights of their fellow men and who believe in the principle of freedom and justice.
Albert Einstein
