There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance.

I love to travel, but hate to arrive.
Albert Einstein

From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that we are here for the sake of each other.
Albert Einstein

If I were wrong, wouldn't one be enough?
Albert Einstein

I take it to be true that pure thought can grasp the real, as the ancients had dreamed.

Student: Dr. Einstein, Aren't these the same questions as last year's [physics] final exam? Dr. Einstein: Yes But this year the answers are different.

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.

A world government with powers adequate to guarantee security is not a remote ideal for the distant future. It is an urgent necessity if our civilization is to survive.
Albert Einstein
Image
I see a pattern, but my imagination cannot picture the maker of that pattern. I see a clock, but I cannot envision the clockmaker. The human mind is unable to conceive of the four dimensions, so how can it conceive of a God, before whom a thousand years and a thousand dimensions are as one?

Strange is our situation here upon earth.

When I was young I found out that the big toe always ends up making a hole in a sock. So I stopped wearing socks.

You are the only person I know who has the same attitude towards physics as I have: belief in the comprehension of reality through something basically simple and unified... It seems hard to sneak a look at God's cards. But that He plays dice and uses 'telepathic' methods... is something that I cannot believe for a single moment.
Albert Einstein

One feels the insignificance of the individual, and it makes one happy.
Albert Einstein
Image
It would be foolish to despise tradition. But with our growing self-consciousness and increasing intelligence we must begin to control tradition and assume a critical attitude toward it, if human relations are ever to change for the better.

I believe that Gandhi’s views were the most enlightened of all the political men in our time. We should strive to do things in his spirit: not to use violence in fighting for our cause, but by non-participation in anything you believe is evil.
Albert Einstein
Image
Philosophers play with the word, like a child with a doll.... It does not mean that everything in life is relative.
Albert Einstein
Image
Our schoolbooks glorify war and conceal its horrors. They indoctrinate children with hatred. I would teach peace rather than war, love rather than hate.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am strongly drawn to the simple life and am often oppressed by the feeling that I am engrossing an unnecessary amount of the labour of my fellow men. I regard class differences as contrary to justice and, in the last resort, based on force. I also consider that plain living is good for everybody, physically and mentally.

One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.

Everyone sits in the prison of his own ideas he must burst it open, and that in his youth, and so try to test his ideas on reality.
