Everyone likes me, yet nobody understands me.
Albert Einstein
Image
What is significant in one's own existence one is hardly aware, and it certainly should not bother the other fellow. What does a fish know about the water in which he swims all his life?
Albert Einstein
Image
Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn
Albert Einstein
Image
Never memorize what you can look up in a book.
Albert Einstein
Image
In living through this great epoch, it is difficult to reconcile oneself to the fact that one belongs to that mad, degenerate species that boasts of its free will. How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will. In such a place even I should be an ardent patriot!
Albert Einstein

It is difficult even to attach a precise meaning to the term scientific truth. So different is the meaning of the word truth according to whether we are dealing with a fact of experience, a mathematical proposition or a scientific theory. Religious truth conveys nothing clear to me at all.
Albert Einstein

Nothing causes more consternation in a group of hypocrits than one honest man.
Albert Einstein

An oligarchy of private capital cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society because under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information.
Albert Einstein
Image
Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as hard duty. Never regard study as duty but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.
Albert Einstein
Image
To invent something, all you need is imagination and a big pile of junk.
Albert Einstein
Image
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
I refuse to engage in an intellectual battle with an unarmed man.
Albert Einstein
Image
Science is the process of making obviously erroneous ideas less obviously erroneous.
Albert Einstein
Image
The effort to strive for truth has to precede all other efforts.
Albert Einstein
Image
The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.
Albert Einstein
Image
The stupid are invincible.
Albert Einstein
Image
Genius is making complex ideas simple, not making simple ideas complex
Albert Einstein
Image
We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.
Albert Einstein
Image
Let me tell you what I look like: pale face, long hair, and a tiny start of a paunch. In addition, an awkward gait, and a cigar in the mouth and a pen in pocket or hand.
Albert Einstein
Image
I was originally supposed to become an engineer but the thought of having to expend my creative energy on things that make practical everyday life even more refined, with a loathsome capital gain as the goal, was unbearable to me.
