More quotes by Albert Einstein
Political leaders or governments owe their position partly to force and partly to popular election. They cannot be regarded as representative of best elements, morally or intellectually, in their respective nations.
Albert Einstein
Science will stagnate if it is made to serve practical goals.
Albert Einstein
Matter is real to my senses, but they aren't trustworthy. If Galileo or Copernicus had accepted what they saw, they would never have discovered the movement of the earth and planets.
Albert Einstein
Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.
Albert Einstein
A man's value to the community primarily depends on how far his feelings, thoughts, and actions are directed towards promoting the good of his fellows.

Albert Einstein
Now to the term 'relativity theory.' I admit that it is unfortunate, and has given occasion to philosophical misunderstandings.
Albert Einstein
Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.
Albert Einstein
Live life to the fullest. You have to color outside the lines once in a while if you want to make your life a masterpiece. Laugh some every day. Keep growing, keep dreaming, keep following your heart. The important thing is not to stop questioning.
Albert Einstein
If I can't picture it, I can't understand it.
Albert Einstein
Nothing in the world makes people so afraid as the influence of independent-minded people.
Albert Einstein
Had I known that the Germans would not succeed in producing an atomic bomb, I would not have lifted a finger.
Albert Einstein
Nuclear power is one hell of a way to boil water
Albert Einstein
What is this frog and mouse battle among the mathematicians?
Albert Einstein
I do not believe that a moral philosophy can ever be founded on a scientific basis. … The valuation of life and all its nobler expressions can only come out of the soul’s yearning toward its own destiny. Every attempt to reduce ethics to scientific formulas must fail. Of that I am perfectly convinced.
Albert Einstein
