Anonymity is no excuse for stupidity.
Albert Einstein
Image
How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought which is independent of experience, is so admirably appropriate to the objects of reality?
Albert Einstein
Image
Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience. You need experience to gain wisdom.
Albert Einstein
Image
If you do the same thing over and over again you cannot ever expect a different outcome.
Albert Einstein
Image
In one's youth every person and every event appear to be unique. With age one becomes much more aware that similar events recur. Later on, one is less often delighted or surprised, but also less disappointed than in earlier years.
Albert Einstein
Image
Anti-Semitism is nothing but the antagonistic attitude produced in the non-Jew by the Jewish group. This is a normal social reaction. The Jewish group has thrived on oppression and on the antagonism it has forever met in the world... the root cause is their use of enemies they create in order to keep solidarity.
Albert Einstein
Image
Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.
Albert Einstein
Image
On quantum theory I use up more brain grease (rough translation of German idiom) than on relativity.
Albert Einstein
Image
An autocratic system of coercion, in my opinion, soon degenerates. For force always attracts men of low morality, and I believe it to be an invariable rule that tyrants of genius are succeeded by scoundrels. For this reason I have always been passionately opposed to systems such as we see in Italy and Russia to-day.

Stand still. The trees ahead and bush beside you are not lost.
Albert Einstein
Image
An expert is a person who has few new ideas a beginner is a person with many.
Albert Einstein
Image
Despite my being an old gypsy there is a tendency to respectability inherent in old age.
Albert Einstein
Image
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.
Albert Einstein
Image
The ancients knew something, which we seem to have forgotten.
Albert Einstein
Image
The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man.
Albert Einstein
Image
The world is in greater peril from those who tolerate or encourage evil than from those who actually commit it.
Albert Einstein
Image
One cannot deal with a problem with the same thinking that creates it.
Albert Einstein
Image
At present every coachman and every waiter argues about whether or not the relativity theory is correct.
Albert Einstein
Image
The time comes in life when we have read enough. It's time to stop reading. It's time to lay down the books and write.
Albert Einstein
Image
In living through this great epoch, it is difficult to reconcile oneself to the fact that one belongs to that mad, degenerate species that boasts of its free will. How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will. In such a place even I should be an ardent patriot!
