Any government is evil if it carries within it the tendency to deteriorate into Tyranny. The danger of such deterioration is more acute in a country in which the government has authority not only over the armed forces but also over every channel of education and information.

The real difficulty, the difficulty which has baffled the sages of all times, is rather this: how can we make our teaching so potent in the motional life of man, that its influence should withstand the pressure of the elemental psychic forces in the individual?
Albert Einstein

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
Image
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
Albert Einstein
Image
Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.
Albert Einstein
Image
The more I study science, the more I believe in God.
Albert Einstein

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
When a blind beetle crawls over the surface of a globe he doesn't notice that the track he has covered is curved. I was lucky enough to have spotted it.
Albert Einstein
Image
Things you can get access to, you should never memorize.
Albert Einstein
Image
My God may not be your idea of God, but one thing I know of my God he makes me a humanitarian. I am a proud Jew because we gave the world the Bible and the story of Joseph.
Albert Einstein
Image
A problem cannot be solved at the level of consciousness in which it occurs.
Albert Einstein
Image
The greater the doubt, the greater the awakening
Albert Einstein
Image
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
Image
I became more and more convinced that even nature could be understood as a relatively simple mathematical structure.
