More quotes by Albert Einstein
The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.
Albert Einstein
Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute.
Albert Einstein
The really good music, whether of the East or of the West, cannot be analyzed.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
[When asked Dr. Einstein, why is it that when the mind of man has stretched so far as to discover the structure of the atom we have been unable to devise the political means to keep the atom from destroying us?] That is simple, my friend. It is because politics is more difficult than physics.
Albert Einstein
No fairer destiny could be allotted to any physical theory than that it should of itself point out the way to the introduction of a more comprehensive theory, in which it lives on as a limiting case.
Albert Einstein
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
The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses.
Albert Einstein
Combinatory play seems to be the essential feature in productive thought.
Albert Einstein
True religion is real living living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness.
Albert Einstein
If I were to remain silent, I'd be guilty of complicity.
Albert Einstein
Let every man judge according to his own standards, by what he has himself read, not by what others tell him.
Albert Einstein
