More quotes by Albert Einstein
The world is a dangerous place to live
Albert Einstein
He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead his eyes are closed.
Albert Einstein
To be sure, the doctrine of a personal God interfering with natural events could never be refuted, in the real sense, by science, for this doctrine can always take refuge in those domains in which scientific knowledge has not yet been able to set foot.
Albert Einstein
The only justifiable purpose of political institutions is to ensure the unhindered development of the individual.
Albert Einstein
I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his [sic] creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious ourselves.
Albert Einstein
Experience alone can decide on truth.
Albert Einstein
Is it not better for a man to die for a cause in which he believes, such as peace, than to suffer for a cause in which he does not believe, such as war?
Albert Einstein
The same thinking and actions that created our problems cannot be used to solve them.
Albert Einstein
The greatest activity of which man is capable: Opening up yet another fragment of the frontier of beauty.
Albert Einstein
You can't solve your problems by using the same thinking that got you into those problems in the first place.
Albert Einstein
Most people go on living their everyday life: half-frightened, half indifferent, they behold the ghostly tragic-comedy that is being performed on the international stage before the eyes and ears of the world.
Albert Einstein
You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. A life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
Albert Einstein
Joy in looking and comprehending is nature's most beautiful gift.
Albert Einstein
More and more I come to value charity and love of one's fellow being above everything else...All our lauded technological progress-our very civilization-is like the axe in the hand of the pathological criminal.
Albert Einstein
I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth will be killed.
Albert Einstein
Don't listen to the person who has the answers listen to the person who has the questions.
Albert Einstein
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.
Albert Einstein
It has often been said, and certainly not without justification, that the man of science is a poor philosopher.
Albert Einstein
The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.
Albert Einstein
There comes a point in your life when you need to stop reading other people's books and write your own.
Albert Einstein
