More quotes by Albert Einstein

Image
I am not a positivist. Positivism states that what cannot be observed does not exist. This conception is scientifically indefensible, for it is impossible to make valid affirmations of what people 'can' or 'cannot' observe. One would have to say 'only what we observe exists,' which is obviously false.
Albert Einstein
Image
We have penetrated far less deeply into the regularities obtaining within the realm of living things, but deeply enough nevertheless to sense at least the rule of fixed necessity... what is still lacking here is a grasp of the connections of profound generality, but not a knowledge of order itself.
Albert Einstein
Image
You believe in a god that plays dice I believe in law & order.
Albert Einstein

The most important tool of the theoretical physicist is his wastebasket.
Albert Einstein
Image
Some men spend a lifetime in an attempt to comprehend the complexities of women. Others pre-occupy themselves with somewhat simpler tasks, such as understanding the theory of relativity!
Albert Einstein

In my personal experience I have hardly come to know the wretchedness of mankind better than as a result of the general theory of relativity and everything connected to it. But it doesn't bother me.
Albert Einstein

It is abhorrent to me when a fine intelligence is paired with an unsavory character.
Albert Einstein
Image
I cannot accept any concept of God based on the fear of life or the fear of death, or blind faith. I cannot prove to you that there is no personal God, but if I were to speak of him I would be a liar.
Albert Einstein
Image
I always found I was in the best of company, alone.
Albert Einstein

The leaves and the light are one.
Albert Einstein
Image
Any brief military advantage the USA might gain with nuclear weapons would be offset by political and psychological losses and damage to American prestige. The United States might even touch off a worldwide armaments race.
Albert Einstein
Image
The years of anxious searching in the dark, with their intense longing, their alternations of confidence and exhaustion and the final emergence into the light -- only those who have experienced it can understand it.
Albert Einstein
Image
Science has gone a long way toward helping man to free himself from the burden of hard labor yet, science itself is not a liberator. It creates means, not goals. It is up to men to utilize those means to achieve reasonable goals.
Albert Einstein
Image
I believe in standardizing automobiles. I do not believe in standardizing human beings. Standardization is a great peril which threatens American culture.
Albert Einstein
Image
Condemnation before investigation is the highest form of ignorance.
Albert Einstein
Image
The important thing is to never stop questioning. Never lose a holy curiosity.
Albert Einstein
Image
I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion.
Albert Einstein

Imagination is vastly more important than intelligence.
Albert Einstein
Image
Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience. You need experience to gain wisdom.
Albert Einstein
