The world is not threatened by evil people, but by those who allow evil to take place.
Albert Einstein

Persistence is the most powerful force on earth, it can move mountains.
Albert Einstein
Image
One ought to be ashamed to make use of the wonders of science embodied in a radio set, the while appreciating them as little as a cow appreciates the botanic marvels in the plants she munches.
Albert Einstein
Image
Even though the realms of religion and science in themselves are clearly marked off from each other, nevertheless there exist between the two strong reciprocal relationships and dependencies.
Albert Einstein
Image
History is littered with examples of men who would become gods, but only one example of God becoming Man.
Albert Einstein
Image
I believe in intuition and inspiration...at times I feel certain I am right while not knowing the reason.
Albert Einstein

Falling in love is not at all the most stupid thing that people do - but gravitation cannot be held responsible for it.
Albert Einstein

A problem defined, is a problem half solved.
Albert Einstein
