Albert Einstein

Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations.
Albert Einstein
Image

Albert Einstein
Image
[Freud's] sense of reality is less clouded by wishful thinking than is the case with other people and [he combines] the qualities of critical judgment, earnestness and responsibility.
Albert Einstein

My intellectual development was retarded, as a result of which I began to wonder about space and time only when I had already grown up.
Albert Einstein
Image
It may be possible to fight intolerance, stupidity, and fanaticism seperately, but when they come together there is no hope.
Albert Einstein
Image
There is no salvation for civilization, or even the human race, other than the creation of a world government.
Albert Einstein
Image
Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone.
