More quotes by Albert Einstein
I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.
Albert Einstein
Earth is the insane asylum of the universe.
Albert Einstein
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.
Albert Einstein
I have lived to prove Thoreau's contention that a man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.
Albert Einstein
If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.
Albert Einstein
Solitude is painful when one is young, but delightful when one is more mature.
Albert Einstein
Mere unbelief in a personal God is no philosophy at all.
Albert Einstein
Where you see difficulty, I see opportunity.
Albert Einstein
Try not to become a man of success, but a man of value. Look around at how people want to get more out of life than they put in. A man of value will give more than he receives. Be creative, but make sure that what you create is not a curse for mankind.
Albert Einstein
Without changing our pattern of thought, we will not be able to solve the problems we created with our current patterns of thought
Albert Einstein
Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn
Albert Einstein
As long as there are sovereign nations possessing great power, war is inevitable.
Albert Einstein
What I'm really interested in is whether God could have made the world in a different way that is, whether the necessity of logical simplicity leaves any freedom at all.
Albert Einstein
I soon learned to scent out that which was able to lead to fundamentals and to turn aside from everything else, from the multitude of things which clutter up the mind and divert it from the essential.
Albert Einstein
The American lives even more for his goals, for the future, than the European. Life for him is always becoming, never being.
Albert Einstein
A world government with powers adequate to guarantee security is not a remote ideal for the distant future. It is an urgent necessity if our civilization is to survive.
Albert Einstein
Imagination rules the earth
Albert Einstein
Given the millions of billions of Earth-like planets, life elsewhere in the Universe without a doubt, does exist. In the vastness of the Universe we are not alone.
Albert Einstein
When the Special Theory of Relativity began to germinate in me, I was visited by all sorts of nervous conflicts... I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion.
Albert Einstein
Adversity introduces a man to himself.
Albert Einstein
