Don't do anything that goes against your conscience, even if your country says so.
Albert Einstein

I have made the Bhagwad Gita as the main source of my inspiration and guide for the purpose of scientific investigations and formation of my theories.
Albert Einstein
Image
I see only with deep regret that God punishes so many of His children for their numerous stupidities, for which only He Himself can be held responsible in my opinion, only His nonexistence could excuse Him.
Albert Einstein

Science is the attempt to make the chaotic diversity of our sense-experience correspond to a logically uniform system of thought.
Albert Einstein
Image
Every one who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe-a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble.
Albert Einstein

Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character it becomes lack of power to act with courage proportionate to danger. All this must lead to the destruction of our intellectual life unless the danger summons up strong personalities able to fill the lukewarm and discouraged with new strength and resolution.

Albert Einstein
Image
Measured objectively, what a man can wrest from Truth by passionate striving is utterly infinitesimal. But the striving frees us from the bonds of the self and makes us comrades of those who are the best and the greatest.
Albert Einstein

That a man can take pleasure in marching in formation to the strains of a band is enough to make me despise him. He has only been given his big brain by mistake a backbone was all he needed.
Albert Einstein
Image
The development of general ability for independent thinking and judgment should always be placed foremost, not the acquisition of special knowledge.
Albert Einstein
Image
Anyone can repeat a technical explanation they read in a text-book or blog post.
Albert Einstein
Image
But their intervention makes our acts to serve ever less merely the immediate claims of our instincts.
Albert Einstein
Image
Have the courage to take your own thoughts seriously, for they will shape you.
Albert Einstein
Image
To be sure, it is not the fruits of scientific research that elevate a man and enrich his nature, but the urge to understand, the intellectual work, creative or receptive.
Albert Einstein

Man can find meaning in life only through devoting himself to society.
