More quotes by Albert Einstein

Image
I feel that you are justified in looking into the future with true assurance, because you have a mode of living in which we find the joy of life and the joy of work harmoniously combined. Added to this is the spirit of ambition which pervades your very being, and seems to make the day's work like a happy child at play.
Albert Einstein
Image
Concepts which have proved useful for ordering things easily assume so great an authority over us, that we forget their terrestrial origin and accept them as unalterable facts. They then become labeled as 'conceptual necessities,' etc. The road of scientific progress is frequently blocked for long periods by such errors.
Albert Einstein
Image
Everyone should be respected as an individual, but no one idolized.
Albert Einstein
Image
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
Image
Intuitive powers played a central role in my scientific work, not wild speculation, yet a valued resource when no other approach was available.
Albert Einstein
Image
We are slowed down sound and light waves, a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos. We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.
Albert Einstein

You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.
Albert Einstein

No problem is ever solved in the same consciousness thas was used to create it.
Albert Einstein

Bureaucracy is the death of all sound work.
Albert Einstein
Image
If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.

E=mc2. Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared
Albert Einstein
Image
I assert that the cosmic religious experience is the strongest and the noblest driving force behind scientific research.
Albert Einstein
Image
The question that drives me hazy is whether it is I or others who is crazy.
Albert Einstein
Image
The harmony of natural law reveals an Intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection.
Albert Einstein
Image
Science can only ascertain what is, but not what should be, and outside of its domain value judgements of all kinds remain necessary.
Albert Einstein
Image
The trite objects of human efforts-possessions, superficial success, luxury-have always seemed contemptible to me.
Albert Einstein
Image
We must be prepared to make the same heroic sacrifices for the cause of peace that we make ungrudgingly for the cause of war.
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
What I see in Nature is a grand design that we can understand only imperfectly, one with which a responsible person must look at with humility.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely.
Albert Einstein
