Albert Einstein
Watch the stars, and from them learn.
Albert Einstein
In quitting this strange world he has once again preceded me by a little. That doesn't mean anything. For those of us who believe in physics, this separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, however tenacious.
Albert Einstein
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.
Albert Einstein
All my life I have dealt with objective matters hence I lack both the natural aptitude and the experience to deal properly with people and to carry out official functions.
Albert Einstein
Mere thinking cannot reveal to us the highest purpose.
Albert Einstein
God does not play dice.
