The words of language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my mechanism of thought. The physical entities which seem to serve as elements in thought are certain signs and more or less clear images.

More quotes by Albert Einstein
Concepts that have proven useful in ordering things easily achieve such authority over us that we forget their earthly origins and accept them as unalterable givens.
Albert Einstein
No, this trick won't work... How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?
Albert Einstein
When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, it seems like two minutes when you sit on a hot stove for two minutes, it seems like two hours. That's relativity.
Albert Einstein
For scientific endeavor is a natural whole the parts of which mutually support one another in a way which, to be sure, no one can anticipate.
Albert Einstein
The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein
It is high time the ideal of success should be replaced with the ideal of service.
Albert Einstein
That's my mathematician who examines problems which I put before him and checks their validity. You see, I am not myself a good mathematician.
Albert Einstein
After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved science and art tend to coalesce in aesthetics, plasticity, and form. The greatest scientists are artists as well.
Albert Einstein
If one tries to navigate unknown waters one runs the risk of shipwreck
Albert Einstein
Everyone likes me, yet nobody understands me.
Albert Einstein
The cult of individual personalities is always, in my view, unjustified. To be sure, nature distributes her gifts variously among her children. But there are plenty of the well-endowed ones too, thank God, and I am firmly convinced that most of them live quiet, unregarded lives.
Albert Einstein
Love is not the stupidest thing a man does, but it cannot be blamed on gravity.
Albert Einstein
It is nothing short of a miracle that modern methods of teaching have not yet entirely strangled that sacred spirit of curiosity and inquiry, for this delicate plant needs freedom no less than stimulation.
Albert Einstein
I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.
Albert Einstein
The right to search for truth implies also a duty.
Albert Einstein
Philosophers play with the word, like a child with a doll.... It does not mean that everything in life is relative.
Albert Einstein
[Asked about a book in which 100 Nazi professors charged him with scientific error.] Were I wrong, one professor would have been quite enough.
Albert Einstein
Without ethical culture, there is no salvation for humanity.
Albert Einstein
But in physics I soon learned to scent out the paths that led to the depths, and to disregard everything else, all the many things that clutter up the mind, and divert it from the essential. The hitch in this was, of course, the fact that one had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examination, whether one liked it or not.
Albert Einstein
As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue.
Albert Einstein
