More quotes by Albert Einstein

Image
One feels the insignificance of the individual, and it makes one happy.
Albert Einstein
Image
What is the meaning of human life, or, for that matter, of the life of any creature? To know the answer to this question means to be religious. You ask: Does it make any sense, then, to pose this question? I answer: The man who regards his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unhappy but hardly fit for life.
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
Adversity introduces a man to himself.
Albert Einstein
Image
Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger generation. For they are us our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life.
Albert Einstein
Image
The State idea is not according to my heart. I cannot understand why it is needed. It is connected with narrow-minded and economic obstacles. I believe it is bad. I have always been against it.
Albert Einstein
Image
Not until we dare to regard ourselves as a nation, not until we respect ourselves, can we gain the esteem of others, or rather only then will it come of its own accord
Albert Einstein
Image
Even on the most solemn occasions I got away without wearing socks and hid that lack of civilization in high boots
Albert Einstein
Image
When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.
Albert Einstein
Image
The future is of greater interest to me than the past, since that is where I intend to spend the rest of my life.
Albert Einstein
Image
Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom.
Albert Einstein
Image
Science has gone a long way toward helping man to free himself from the burden of hard labor yet, science itself is not a liberator. It creates means, not goals. It is up to men to utilize those means to achieve reasonable goals.
Albert Einstein
Image
My interest in science was always essentially limited to the study of principles.... That I have published so little is due to this same circumstance, as the great need to grasp principles has caused me to spend most of my time on fruitless pursuits.
Albert Einstein
Image
Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is characteristic of the military mentality that non-human factors ... are held essential, while the human being, his desires and thoughts-in short, the psychological factors-are considered as unimportant and secondary.
Albert Einstein
Image
Education is not received. It is achieved.
Albert Einstein
Image
Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
Albert Einstein
Image
In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep, one must above all be a sheep oneself.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am not a positivist. Positivism states that what cannot be observed does not exist. This conception is scientifically indefensible, for it is impossible to make valid affirmations of what people 'can' or 'cannot' observe. One would have to say 'only what we observe exists,' which is obviously false.

One should respect an honest person even if he expresses opinions differing from one's own.
