More quotes by Albert Einstein

Image
Try not to become a man of success, but a man of value. Look around at how people want to get more out of life than they put in. A man of value will give more than he receives. Be creative, but make sure that what you create is not a curse for mankind.
Albert Einstein
Image
The most important human endeavor is the striving for morality in our actions. Our inner balance and even our very existence depend on it. Only morality in our actions can give beauty and dignity to life.
Albert Einstein
Image
I was sitting in a chair in the patent office at Bern when all of a sudden a thought occurred to me: If a person falls freely he will not feel his own weight. I was startled. This simple thought made a deep impression on me. It impelled me toward a theory of gravitation.

In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.
Albert Einstein
Image
Our world faces a crisis as yet unperceived by those possessing power to make great decisions for good or evil. The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe.
Albert Einstein
Image
The really valuable thing in the pageant of human life seems to me not the political state, but the creative, sentient individual, the personality it alone creates the noble and the sublime, while the herd as such remains dull in thought and dull in feeling.
Albert Einstein
Image
In matters of trust and justice there can be no distinction between big problems and small, for the general principles which determine the conduct of men are indivisible. Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted in important affairs.
Albert Einstein

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
Albert Einstein
Image
I came- though the child of entirely irreligious (Jewish) parents - to a deep religiousness, which, however, reached an abrupt end at the age of twelve.

This is too difficult for a mathematician. It takes a philosopher. The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.
Albert Einstein
Image
The most beautiful gift of nature is that it gives one pleasure to look around and try to comprehend what we see.
