Quote

It is not a lack of real affection that scares me away again and again from marriage. Is it a fear of the comfortable life, of nice furniture, of dishonor that I burden myself with, or even the fear of becoming a contented bourgeois.

You can't use an old map to explore a new world.
Albert Einstein
Image
I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves. An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension, nor do I wish it otherwise such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls.

O, Youth: Do you know that yours is not the first generation to yearn for a life full of beauty and freedom?

When you trip over love, it is easy to get up. But when you fall in love, it is impossible to stand again.
Albert Einstein
Image
In my opinion there is no other salvation for civilization and even for the human race than the creation of a world government with security on the basis of law. As long as there are sovereign states with their separate armaments and armament secrets, new world wars cannot be avoided.

We will never be able to solve the problems of tomorrow with the thinking of today
Albert Einstein

What I see in Nature is a magnificent structure that we can comprehend only very imperfectly, and that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of humility. This is a genuinely religious feeling that has nothing to do with mysticism.
Albert Einstein
Image
Nothing that I can do or say will change the structure of the universe. But maybe, by raising my voice, I can help the greatest of all causes — good will among men and peace on earth.

Albert Einstein

Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.
Albert Einstein
Image
The dog is very smart. He feels sorry for me because I receive so much mail that's why he tries to bite the mailman.
Albert Einstein
Image
Desire for approval and recognition is a healthy motive, but the desire to be acknowledged as better, stronger, or more intelligent than a fellow being or fellow scholar easily leads to an excessively egoistic psychological adjustment, which may become injurious for the individual and for the community.
Albert Einstein
Image
Princeton is a wonderful little spot. A quaint and ceremonious village of puny demigods on stilts.
Albert Einstein
Image
I prefer to make up my own quotes and attribute them to very smart people, so that I can use them to win arguments
Albert Einstein

The sceptic will say, 'It may well be true that this system of equations is reasonable from a logical standpoint, but this does not prove that it corresponds to nature.' You are right, dear sceptic. Experience alone can decide on truth.
Albert Einstein

Chess holds its master in its own bonds, shackling the mind and brain so that the inner freedom of the very strongest must suffer.
Albert Einstein
Image
The world we have made as a result of the level of thinking we have done thus far creates problems that we cannot solve at the same level at which we have created them.... We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humankind is to survive.
Albert Einstein
Image
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
Albert Einstein
Image
[O]nly if every individual strives for truth can humanity attain a happier future the atavisms in each of us that stand in the way of a friendlier destiny can only thus be rendered ineffective.
Albert Einstein
Image
We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life. All that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.
