I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.
Albert Einstein

Anti-Semitism is nothing but the antagonistic attitude produced in the non-Jew by the Jewish group. This is a normal social reaction. The Jewish group has thrived on oppression and on the antagonism it has forever met in the world... the root cause is their use of enemies they create in order to keep solidarity.
Albert Einstein

[There is] a duty in refusing to cooperate in any undertaking that violates the Constitutional rights of the individual. This holds in particular for all inquisitions that are concerned with the private life and the political affiliations of the citizens.
Albert Einstein
Image
An autocratic system of coercion, in my opinion, soon degenerates. For force always attracts men of low morality, and I believe it to be an invariable rule that tyrants of genius are succeeded by scoundrels. For this reason I have always been passionately opposed to systems such as we see in Italy and Russia to-day.

Those who believe that politics and religion do not mix, understand neither.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am a determinist. As such, I do not believe in free will...Practically, I am, nevertheless, compelled to act as if freedom of the will existed. If I wish to live in a civilized community, I must act as if man is a responsible being.
Albert Einstein
Image
One must take what nature gives as one finds it.
Albert Einstein
Image
I came- though the child of entirely irreligious (Jewish) parents - to a deep religiousness, which, however, reached an abrupt end at the age of twelve.
Albert Einstein
Image
People love chopping wood. In this activity one immediately sees results.
Albert Einstein
Image
Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.
Albert Einstein
Image
All these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of man's actions.
Albert Einstein
Image
Nature conceals her secrets because she is sublime, not because she is a trickster.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have just got a new theory of eternity.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this is a somewhat new kind of religion.

The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion.

In the midst of every crisis, lies great opportunity.
