It is nothing short of a miracle that modern methods of teaching have not yet entirely strangled that sacred spirit of curiosity and inquiry, for this delicate plant needs freedom no less than stimulation.

More quotes by Albert Einstein
I have reached the conviction that the abolition of the death penalty is desirable. Reasons: 1) Irreparability in the event of an error of justice, 2) Detrimental moral influence of the execution procedure on those who, whether directly or indirectly, have to do with the procedure.
Albert Einstein
Brief is this existence, as a visit in a strange house. The path to be pursued is poorly lit by a flickering consciousness.
Albert Einstein
A new idea comes suddenly and in a rather intuitive way, but intuition is nothing but the outcome of earlier intellectual experience.
Albert Einstein
But in physics I soon learned to scent out the paths that led to the depths, and to disregard everything else, all the many things that clutter up the mind, and divert it from the essential. The hitch in this was, of course, the fact that one had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examination, whether one liked it or not.
Albert Einstein
Morality is of the highest importance - but for us, not for God.
Albert Einstein
The stakes are immense, the task colossal, the time is short. But we may hope - we must hope - that man's own creation, man's own genius, will not destroy him.
Albert Einstein
Let me tell you what I look like: pale face, long hair, and a tiny start of a paunch. In addition, an awkward gait, and a cigar in the mouth and a pen in pocket or hand.
Albert Einstein
Never underestimate your own ignorance.
Albert Einstein
Not all things worth counting are countable and not all things that count are worth counting.
Albert Einstein
The mind that opens to a new idea never returns to its original size
Albert Einstein
...behind all the discernible laws and connections, there remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable.
Albert Einstein
A thought that sometimes makes me hazy: Am I - or are the others crazy?
Albert Einstein
Future medicine will be the medicine of frequencies.
Albert Einstein
Out yonder there is this huge world, which exists independently of us human beings and which stands before us like a great, eternal riddle, at least partially accessible to our inspection and thinking
Albert Einstein
There are two different conceptions about the nature of the universe: (1) the world as a unity dependent on humanity (2) the world as a reality independent of the human factor.
Albert Einstein
Something deeply hidden had to be behind things.
Albert Einstein
To understand the world one must not be worrying about one's self.
Albert Einstein
Imagination without knowledge may create beautiful things, knowledge without imagination can create only perfect ones.
Albert Einstein
It's not that I'm so smart.
Albert Einstein
It is my inner conviction that the development of science seeks in the main to satisfy the longing for pure knowledge.
Albert Einstein
