Everybody should be ashamed who uses the wonders of science and engineering without thinking and having mentally realized not more of it than a cow realizes of the botany of the plants which it eats with pleasure.
Albert Einstein

The equation for ego is: One over Knowledge.
Albert Einstein

Music has no effect on research work, but both are born of the same source and complement each other through the satisfaction they bestow
Albert Einstein
Image
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)
Albert Einstein
Image
I have deep faith that the principle of the universe will be beautiful and simple
Albert Einstein

Had I known that the Germans would not succeed in producing an atomic bomb, I would not have lifted a finger.
Albert Einstein

May the conscience and the common sense of the peoples be awakened, so that we may reach a new stage in the life of nations, where people will look back on war as an incomprehensible aberration of their forefathers!
Albert Einstein

What physics looks for: The simplest possible system of thought which will bind together the observed facts.
Albert Einstein

If I would be a young man again and had to decide how to make my living, I would not try to become a scientist or scholar or teacher. I would rather choose to be a plumber or a peddler in hope to find that modest degree of independence still available under present circumstances.
Albert Einstein

For science can only ascertain what is, but not what should be, and outside of its domain value judgments of all kinds remain necessary. Religion, on the other hand, deals only with evaluations of human thought and action: it cannot justifiably speak of facts and relationships between facts.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am strongly drawn to a frugal life and am often oppressively aware that I am engrossing an undue amount of the labor of my fellow men.
Albert Einstein
Image
Without the sense of fellowship with men of like mind, of preoccupation with the objective, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific research, life would have seemed to me empty.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is intelligent to have a plan, but neurotic to fall in love with it.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely.
Albert Einstein
Image
The world is an evil place to live in. Not for those who do evil, but for those who sit back and allow evil to occur.
Albert Einstein
Image
To obtain an assured favorable response from people, it is better to offer them something for their stomachs instead of their brains.
Albert Einstein
Image
In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same.
Albert Einstein
Image
There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance.

Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.
