Image
The cult of individual personalities is always, in my view, unjustified. To be sure, nature distributes her gifts variously among her children. But there are plenty of the well-endowed ones too, thank God, and I am firmly convinced that most of them live quiet, unregarded lives.
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.
Albert Einstein

Mere praise of peace is easy and ineffective. What is needed is acitve participation in the fight against war and everything which leads to it.
Albert Einstein
Image
Humiliation and mental oppression by ignorant and selfish teachers wreak havoc in the youthful mind that can never be undone and often exert a baleful influence in later life.
Albert Einstein
Image
One must not attempt to justify them, but rather to sense their nature simply and clearly.
Albert Einstein

Body and soul are not two different things, but only two different ways of perceiving the same thing. Similarly, physics and psychology are only different attempts to link our experiences together by way of systematic thought.
Albert Einstein

The bigotry of the nonbeliever is for me nearly as funny as the bigotry of the believer.
Albert Einstein
Image
Man like every other animal is by nature indolent. If nothing spurs him on, then he will hardly think, and will behave from habit like an automaton.
Albert Einstein
Image
The war is won, but the peace is not.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is always delightful when a great and beautiful idea proves to be consonant with reality.
Albert Einstein
Image
There is nothing divine about morality, it is a purely human affair.
Albert Einstein
Image
Strange is our situation here on earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose.
Albert Einstein
Image
Common sense is that layer of prejudices which we acquire before we are sixteen.
Albert Einstein
Image
To my mind, to kill in war is not a whit better than to commit ordinary murder.
Albert Einstein
Image
The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.
Albert Einstein
Image
Nothing happens until something moves.
Albert Einstein
Image
Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.
Albert Einstein
Image
Lasting harmony with a woman (was) an undertaking in which I twice failed rather disgracefully.
Albert Einstein
Image
External conditions can, to a certain extent, reduce, but never cancel individual repsonsibility.

Am I, or the others crazy?
