More quotes by Albert Einstein
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
Albert Einstein
That's my mathematician who examines problems which I put before him and checks their validity. You see, I am not myself a good mathematician.
Albert Einstein
The fanatical atheists are like slaves who are still feeling the weight of their chains which they have thrown off after hard struggle. They are creatures who—in their grudge against traditional religion as the opium of the masses—cannot hear the music of the spheres.
Albert Einstein
The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. It is the source of all true art and science. He who knows it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle.
Albert Einstein
E=mc2. Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared. The original statement is: If a body gives off the energy L in the form of radiation, its mass diminishes by L/c2. Ist die Tragheit eines Korpers von Seinem Energieghalt Abhangig? 1905
Albert Einstein
The world we have created is a product of our thinking.
Albert Einstein
Of what significance is one's existence, one is basically unaware. What does a fish know about the water in which he swims all his life? The bitter and the sweet come from outside. The hard from within, from one's own efforts. For the most part I do what my own nature drives me to do. It is embarrassing to earn such respect and love for it.
Albert Einstein
My scientific work is motivated by an irresistible longing to understand the secrets of nature not by other feelings.
Albert Einstein
Knowledge is limited.
Albert Einstein
The more one chases the quanta, the better they hide themselves.
Albert Einstein
If we trace out what we behold and experience through the language of logic, we are doing science if we show it in forms whose interrelashionships are not accessible to our conscious thought but we are intuitively recognized as meaningful, we are doing art.
Albert Einstein
The physicists say that I am a mathematician, and the mathematicians say that I am a physicist. I am a completely isolated man and though everybody knows me, there are very few people who really know me.
Albert Einstein
The greatest knowledge a person can possess is the address of the local library.
Albert Einstein
Curiosity is a delicate little plant that, aside from stimulation, stands mainly in need of freedom.
Albert Einstein
There is, however, a somber point in the social outlook of Americans. Their sense of equality and human dignity is mainly limited to people of white skin.... The more I feel like an American, the more the situation pains me.
Albert Einstein
It is true that the grasping of truth is not possible without empirical basis. However, the deeper we penetrate and the more extensive and embracing our theories become the less empirical knowledge is needed to determine those theories.
Albert Einstein
Time is relative its only worth depends upon what we do as it is passing.
Albert Einstein
We are boxed in by the boundary conditions of our thinking
Albert Einstein
I wouldn't want to live if I did not have my work. In any case, it's good that I'm already old and personally don't have to count on a prolonged future.
Albert Einstein
It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man.
Albert Einstein
