More quotes by Albert Einstein
The point is to develop the childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition and to guide the child over to important fields for society. Such a school demands from the teacher that he be a kind of artist in his province.
Albert Einstein
The individual who has experienced solitude will not easily become a victim of mass suggestion.
Albert Einstein
You never fail until you stop trying.
Albert Einstein
He who has never been deceived by a lie does not know the meaning of bliss.
Albert Einstein
The foundation of morality should not be made dependent on myth nor tied to any authority lest doubt about the myth or about the legitimacy of the authority imperil the foundation of sound judgment and action.
Albert Einstein
[O]nly if every individual strives for truth can humanity attain a happier future the atavisms in each of us that stand in the way of a friendlier destiny can only thus be rendered ineffective.
Albert Einstein
Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.
Albert Einstein
Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.
Albert Einstein
A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.
Albert Einstein
In the beginning (if there was such a thing), God created Newton's laws of motion together with the necessary masses and forces. This is all everything beyond this follows from the development of appropriate mathematical methods by means of deduction.
Albert Einstein
You are right in speaking of the moral foundations of science, but you cannot turn around and speak of the scientific foundations of morality.
Albert Einstein
Each of us visits this Earth involuntarily, and without an invitation. For me, it is enough to wonder at the secrets.
Albert Einstein
It strikes me as unfair, and even in bad taste, to select a few of them for boundless admiration, attributing superhuman powers of mind and character to them. This has been my fate, and the contrast between the popular estimate of my powers and achievements and the reality is simply grotesque.
Albert Einstein
It is not a lack of real affection that scares me away again and again from marriage. Is it a fear of the comfortable life, of nice furniture, of dishonor that I burden myself with, or even the fear of becoming a contented bourgeois.
Albert Einstein
The really good music, whether of the East or of the West, cannot be analyzed.
Albert Einstein
The feeling for what ought and ought not to be grows and dies like a tree, and no fertilizer of any kind will do much good. What the individual can do is give a fine example, and have the courage to firmly uphold ethical convictions in a society of cynics. I have for a long time tried to conduct myself this way, with varying success.
Albert Einstein
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Albert Einstein
It is not so important where one settles down. The best thing is to follow your instincts without too much reflection.
Albert Einstein
As to science, we may well define it for our purpose as methodical thinking directed toward finding regulative connections between our sensual experiences.
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
