More quotes by Albert Einstein
The bigotry of the nonbeliever is for me nearly as funny as the bigotry of the believer.
Albert Einstein
I have to apologize to you that I am still among the living. There will be a remedy for this, however.
Albert Einstein
Human beings, in their thinking, feeling and acting are not free agents but are as causally bound as the stars in their motion.
Albert Einstein
The problems of today can only be solved at a higher level of thinking than that which created them
Albert Einstein
Man, surrounded by facts, permitting himself no surprise, no intuitive flash, no great hypothesis, no risk, is in a locked cell. Ignorance cannot seal the mind and imagination more securely.
Albert Einstein
It would of course be a great step forward if we succeeded in combining the gravitational field and the electromagnetic field into a single structure. Only so could the era in theoretical physics inaugurated by Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell be brought to a satisfactory close.
Albert Einstein
You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. A life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
Albert Einstein
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
Assumptions are made and most assumptions are wrong.
Albert Einstein
The main task of the spirit is to free man from his ego.
Albert Einstein
The human spirit must prevail over technology.
Albert Einstein
The only source of knowledge is experience.
Albert Einstein
It is only men who are free, who create the inventions and intellectual works which to us moderns make life worth while.
Albert Einstein
Common sense consists of those layers of prejudice laid down before the age of 18.
Albert Einstein
...and knowledge is one of the finest attributes of man - though often it is most loudly voiced by those who strive for it the least.
Albert Einstein
God does not play dice [with the universe]. [Ger., Gott wurfelt nicht.]
Albert Einstein
If I could remember the names of all these particles, I'd be a botanist.
Albert Einstein
Here's a Challenge: Study a complicated topic in such detail that anyone interested can nod their head and understand as you explain specific concepts within the topic.
Albert Einstein
Well-being and happiness never appeared to me as an absolute aim. I am even inclined to compare such moral aims to the ambitions of a pig.
Albert Einstein
In matters of trust and justice there can be no distinction between big problems and small, for the general principles which determine the conduct of men are indivisible. Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted in important affairs.
Albert Einstein
