More quotes by Albert Einstein
Our lives will be measured by what we do for others
Albert Einstein
The traditional religions worry me. Their long history proves that they have not understood the meaning of the commandment: Thou shalt not kill. If we want to save this world from unimaginable destruction we should concentrate not on the faraway God , but on the heart of the individual.
Albert Einstein
The true definition of madness is repeating the same action, over and over, hoping for a different result.
Albert Einstein
Personally, I experience the greatest degree of pleasure in having contact with works of art. They furnish me with happy feelings of an intensity that I cannot derive from other sources.
Albert Einstein
I do not believe in immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no superhuman authority behind it.
Albert Einstein
I agree with Schopenhauer that one of the most powerful motives that attracts people to science and art is the longing to escape from everyday life.
Albert Einstein
Mathematics are well and good but Nature keeps dragging us around by the nose.
Albert Einstein
Marie Curie is, of all celebrated beings, the only one whom fame has not corrupted.
Albert Einstein
The point is to develop the childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition and to guide the child over to important fields for society. Such a school demands from the teacher that he be a kind of artist in his province.
Albert Einstein
I have reached the conviction that the abolition of the death penalty is desirable. Reasons: 1) Irreparability in the event of an error of justice, 2) Detrimental moral influence of the execution procedure on those who, whether directly or indirectly, have to do with the procedure.
Albert Einstein
I appeal to all men and women, whether they be eminent or humble, to declare that they will refuse to give any further assistance to war or the preparation of war.
Albert Einstein
It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure.
Albert Einstein
Matter is real to my senses, but they aren't trustworthy. If Galileo or Copernicus had accepted what they saw, they would never have discovered the movement of the earth and planets.
Albert Einstein
Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.
Albert Einstein
One is born into a herd of buffaloes and must be glad if one is not trampled under foot before one's time.
Albert Einstein
The world is not threatened by evil people, but by those who allow evil to take place.
Albert Einstein
Where you see difficulty, I see opportunity.
Albert Einstein
Don't let your brain interfere with your heart.
Albert Einstein
The last thing to collapse is the surface.
Albert Einstein
I don't try to imagine a personal God it suffices to stand in awe at the structure of the world, insofar as it allows our inadequate senses to appreciate it.
Albert Einstein
