Image
Almost all the other fellows do not look from the facts to the theory but from the theory to the facts they cannot get out of the network of already accepted concepts instead, comically, they only wriggle about inside.
Albert Einstein
Image
The trouble with the younger generation is that they don't stay young for very long.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have just got a new theory of eternity.
Albert Einstein
Image
The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe.
Albert Einstein
Image
Raffiniert ist der Herr Gott, aber boshaft ist er nicht. God is subtle, but he is not malicious.
Albert Einstein
Image
I advocate world government because I am convinced that there is no other possible way of eliminating the most terrible danger in which man has ever found himself. The objective of avoiding total destruction must have priority over any other objective.
Albert Einstein
Image
The last thing to collapse is the surface.
Albert Einstein
Image
As a human being, one has been endowed with just enough intelligence to be able to see clearly how utterly inadequate that intelligence is when confronted with what exists.
Albert Einstein
Image
The word 'God' is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, and religious scripture a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can (for me) change this.
Albert Einstein
Image
The theoretical idea ... does not arise apart from and independent of experience nor can it be derived from experience by a purely logical procedure. It is produced by a creative act. Once a theoretical idea has been acquired, one does well to hold fast to it until it leads to an untenable conclusion.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have to apologize to you that I am still among the living. There will be a remedy for this, however.
Albert Einstein
Image
May the conscience and the common sense of the peoples be awakened, so that we may reach a new stage in the life of nations, where people will look back on war as an incomprehensible aberration of their forefathers!
Albert Einstein
Image
What separates me from most so-called atheists is a feeling of utter humility toward the unattainable secrets of the harmony of the cosmos.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is true that my parents were worried because I began to speak fairly late, so that they even consulted a doctor. I can't say how old I was - but surely not less than three.
Albert Einstein
Image
Everything you can imagine, nature has already created.
Albert Einstein
Image
Einstein didn't speak until he was four, leading most of his teachers to believe he was crazy. That is until he whipped out the theory of relativity. BAYUM! Showed you guys.

The strongest force in the universe is Compound Interest.
Albert Einstein
Image
My intellectual development was retarded, as a result of which I began to wonder about space and time only when I had already grown up.
Albert Einstein
Image
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
Image
It is enough for me to contemplate the mystery of conscious life perpetuating itself through all eternity, to reflect upon the marvelous structure of the universe which we dimly perceive, and to try humbly to comprehend an infinitesimal part of the intelligence manifested in nature.
