More quotes by Albert Einstein

Image
I see a pattern, but my imagination cannot picture the maker of that pattern. I see a clock, but I cannot envision the clockmaker. The human mind is unable to conceive of the four dimensions, so how can it conceive of a God, before whom a thousand years and a thousand dimensions are as one?
Albert Einstein
Image
I believe that whatever we do or live for has its causality it is good, however, that we cannot see through to it.
Albert Einstein
Image
A permanent peace cannot be prepared by threats but only by the honest attempt to create a mutual trust. However strong national armaments may be, they do not create military security for any nation nor do they guarantee the maintenance of peace.
Albert Einstein
Image
Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.
Albert Einstein
Image
When a man points a finger at someone else, he should remember that three of his fingers are pointing at himself. Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics I can assure you that mine are still greater.
Albert Einstein
Image
Time is just something we invented to make motion seem simple.
Albert Einstein
Image
It would of course be a great step forward if we succeeded in combining the gravitational field and the electromagnetic field into a single structure. Only so could the era in theoretical physics inaugurated by Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell be brought to a satisfactory close.
Albert Einstein
Image
My comprehension of God comes from a deeply felt conviction of a superior intelligence that reveals itself in the knowable world.
Albert Einstein
Image
If a man aspires towards a righteous life, his first act of abstinence is from injury to animals.
Albert Einstein
Image
In the matter of physics, the first lessons should contain nothing but what is experimental and interesting to see. A pretty experiment is in itself often more valuable than twenty formulae extracted from our minds.
Albert Einstein
Image
We all try to escape pain and death, while we seek what is pleasant.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is not so important where one settles down. The best thing is to follow your instincts without too much reflection.
Albert Einstein
Image
There is separation of colored people from white people in the United States. That separation is not a disease of colored people. It is a disease of white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it.
Albert Einstein
Image
Fantasie is belangrijker dan kennis, want kennis is begrensd.
Albert Einstein
Image
We must dedicate our lives to drying up the source of war: ammunition factories.
Albert Einstein
Image
Science is the century-old endeavor to bring together by means of systematic thought the perceptible phenomena of this world into as thorough-going an association as possible.
Albert Einstein
Image
Highly developed spirits often encounter resistance from mediocre minds.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is best, it seems to me, to separate one's inner striving from one's trade as far as possible. It is not good when one's daily break is tied to God's special blessing.
Albert Einstein
Image
What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the World.
Albert Einstein

Without the sense of fellowship with men of like mind... life would have seemed to me empty.
