More quotes by Albert Einstein
Even trivial events demonstrate strong devotion to the Universe and small concern for ego.
Albert Einstein
A country cannot simultaneously prepare and prevent war.
Albert Einstein
In my view, it is the most important function of art and science to awaken this feeling and keep it alive in those who are capable of it.
Albert Einstein
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
The road to perdition has ever been accompanied by lip service to an ideal.
Albert Einstein
I must try, however, as best I can, although I am very conscious of the fact that our feelings and strivings are often contradictory and obscure and that they cannot be expressed in easy and simple formulas.
Albert Einstein
Don't do anything that goes against your conscience, even if your country says so.
Albert Einstein
It would be foolish to despise tradition. But with our growing self-consciousness and increasing intelligence we must begin to control tradition and assume a critical attitude toward it, if human relations are ever to change for the better.
Albert Einstein
In art, and in the higher ranges of science, there is a feeling of harmony which underlies all endeavor. There is no true greatness in art or science without that sense of harmony.
Albert Einstein
I believe that the horrifying deterioration in the ethical conduct of people today stems from the mechanization and dehumanization of our lives. A disastrous by-product of the development of the scientific and technical mentality. We are guilty. Man grows cold faster than the planet he inhabits.
Albert Einstein
The State idea is not according to my heart. I cannot understand why it is needed. It is connected with narrow-minded and economic obstacles. I believe it is bad. I have always been against it.
Albert Einstein
The wireless telegraph is not difficult to understand. The ordinary telegraph is like a very long cat. You pull the tail in New York, and it meows in Los Angeles. The wireless is the same, only without the cat.
Albert Einstein
A theory can be proved by experiment but no path leads from experiment to the birth of a theory.
Albert Einstein
While I am a convinced pacifist there are circumstances in which I believe the use of force is appropriate - namely, in the face of an enemy unconditionally bent on destroying me and my people.
Albert Einstein
In one's youth every person and every event appear to be unique. With age one becomes much more aware that similar events recur. Later on, one is less often delighted or surprised, but also less disappointed than in earlier years.
Albert Einstein
Everybody should be ashamed who uses the wonders of science and engineering without thinking and having mentally realized not more of it than a cow realizes of the botany of the plants which it eats with pleasure.
Albert Einstein
A woman is always Right. But sometimes confused or may be misinformed or rude or stubborn or senseless or unchangeable about her opinions or even down right stupid at times but NEVER wrong... She is always Right.
Albert Einstein
I have become an obstinate heretic in the eyes of my colleagues. Momentary success carries more power of conviction than reflections upon principles.
Albert Einstein
Nothing causes more consternation in a group of hypocrits than one honest man.
Albert Einstein
Princeton is a wonderful little spot. A quaint and ceremonious village of puny demigods on stilts.
Albert Einstein
