Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.
Albert Einstein
Image
Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem to characterize our age. If we desire sincerely and passionately the safety, the welfare and the free development of the talents of all men, we shall not be in want of the means to approach such a state.
Albert Einstein
Image
I like to experience the universe as one harmonious whole. Every cell has life. Matter, too, has life it is energy solidified. Our bodies are like prisons, and I look forward to be free, but I don't speculate on what will happen to me. I live here now, and my responsibility is in this world now.

[Misquotation not by Einstein.] If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker. [Apparently remorseful for his role in the development of the atom bomb.]
Albert Einstein

The horizon of many people is a circle with a radius of zero. They call this their point of view.
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.

Please explain the problem to me slowly, as I do not understand things quickly.
Albert Einstein
Image
Violence sometimes may have cleared away obstructions quickly, but it never has proved itself creative.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is also a natural thing for a serious young man that he should form for himself as precise an idea as possible of the goal of his desires.
Albert Einstein
Image
In living through this great epoch, it is difficult to reconcile oneself to the fact that one belongs to that mad, degenerate species that boasts of its free will. How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will. In such a place even I should be an ardent patriot!
Albert Einstein
Image
To be sure, it is not the fruits of scientific research that elevate a man and enrich his nature, but the urge to understand, the intellectual work, creative or receptive.
Albert Einstein
Image
A man's moral worth is not measured by what his religious beliefs are but rather by what emotional impulses he has received from Nature during his lifetime.
Albert Einstein
Image
The pioneers of a warless world are the young men (and women) who refuse military service.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.
Albert Einstein
Image
I believe in intuition and inspiration...at times I feel certain I am right while not knowing the reason.
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
Learning is experience. Everything else is just information.
Albert Einstein
Image
A theory is something nobody believes, except the person who made it. An experiment is something everybody believes, except the person who made it.

The more success the quantum theory has, the sillier it looks
