The only way to escape the personal corruption of praise is to go on working. One is tempted to stop and listen to it. The only thing is to turn away and go on working. Work. There is nothing else.
Albert Einstein
Image
Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.
Albert Einstein
Image
Smoke like a chimney, work like a horse, eat without thinking, go for a walk only in really pleasant company.
Albert Einstein
Image
If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
Albert Einstein
Image
Each makes this cosmos and its construction the pivot of his emotional life, in order to find in this way peace and security which he can not find in the narrow whirlpool of personal experience.
Albert Einstein
Image
Mysticism is in fact the only criticism people cannot level against my theory.
Albert Einstein

The series of integers is obviously an invention of the human mind, a self-created tool which simplifies the ordering of certain sensory experiences.
Albert Einstein
Image
The real problem is in the hearts and minds of men. It is not a problem of physics but of ethics. It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man.
Albert Einstein
Image
The mere formulation of a problem is far more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skills. To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle requires creative imagination and marks real advances in science.
Albert Einstein
Image
The trite objects of human efforts-possessions, superficial success, luxury-have always seemed contemptible to me.
Albert Einstein
Image
Our defense is not in our armaments, nor in science, nor in going underground. Our defense is in law and order.
Albert Einstein
Image
A country cannot simultaneously prepare and prevent war.
Albert Einstein
Image
The armament industry is indeed one of the greatest dangers that beset mankind. It is the hidden evil power.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is my conviction that pure mathematical construction enables us to discover the concepts and the laws connecting them, which gives us the key to the understanding of nature ... In a certain sense, therefore, I hold it true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed.
