Consider the concepts referred to in the words 'where', 'when', 'why', 'being', to the elucidation of which innumerable volumes of philosophy have been devoted. We fare no better in our speculations than a fish which should strive to become clear as to what is water.
Albert Einstein
Image
The beauty of it is that we have to content ourselves with the recognition of the miracle, beyond which there is no legitimate way out.
Albert Einstein

The State is made for Mankind, not mankind for the state
Albert Einstein
Image
If you feed your mind as often as you feed your stomach, then you'll never have to worry about feeding your stomach or a roof over your head or clothes on your back.
Albert Einstein

My God may not be your idea of God, but one thing I know of my God he makes me a humanitarian. I am a proud Jew because we gave the world the Bible and the story of Joseph.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and his feelings as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of consciousness.

I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being.

A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.

You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.
Albert Einstein
Image
The analogy I like is this imagine being able to see the world but you are deaf, and then suddenly someone gives you the ability to hear things as well - you get an extra dimension of perception.
Albert Einstein
Image
Hunger, love, pain, fear are some of those inner forces which rule the individual's instinct for self preservation.
Albert Einstein

Only strong characters can resist the temptation of superficial analysis.
Albert Einstein
Image
If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.
Albert Einstein

The dog is very smart. He feels sorry for me because I receive so much mail that's why he tries to bite the mailman.
Albert Einstein
Image
My comprehension of God comes from a deeply felt conviction of a superior intelligence that reveals itself in the knowable world.
Albert Einstein
Image
But in physics I soon learned to scent out the paths that led to the depths, and to disregard everything else, all the many things that clutter up the mind, and divert it from the essential. The hitch in this was, of course, the fact that one had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examination, whether one liked it or not.

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
