More quotes by Albert Einstein
I know little about nature and hardly anything about men.
Albert Einstein
True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.
Albert Einstein
It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure.
Albert Einstein
Imagination is greater than knowledge.
Albert Einstein
The state exists for man, not man for the state. The same may be said of science. These are old phrases, coined by people who saw in human individuality the highest human value. I would hesitate to repeat them, were it not for the ever recurring danger that they may be forgotten, especially in these days of organization and stereotypes.
Albert Einstein
Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.
Albert Einstein
Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. ... [By seeking] logical beauty spiritual formulas are discovered necessary for the deeper penetration into the laws of nature.
Albert Einstein
I didn't arrive at my understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe through my rational mind.
Albert Einstein
God reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists.
Albert Einstein
The world is so full of possibilities that dogmatism is simply indecent.
Albert Einstein
If people are good because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
Albert Einstein
Politics is more difficult than physics.
Albert Einstein
A man's ethical behaviour should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
Albert Einstein
Feeling and longing are the motive forces behind all human endeavor and human creations.
Albert Einstein
The only mistake in life is the lesson not learned.
Albert Einstein
Bureaucracy is the death of all sound work.
Albert Einstein
By an application of the theory of relativity to the taste of readers, today in Germany I am called a German man of science, and in England I am represented as a Swiss Jew. If I come to be represented as a bête noire, the descriptions will be reversed, and I shall become a Swiss Jew for the Germans and a German man of science for the English!
Albert Einstein
Only a life lived for others is a life worth while . I have no special gift. I am only passionately curious . I want to know God's thoughts... all the rest are details. Joy in looking and comprehending is nature's most beautiful gift. It's not that I'm so smart , it's just that I stay with problems longer.
Albert Einstein
Every day, man is making bigger and better fool-proof things, and every day, nature is making bigger and better fools. So far, I think nature is winning.
Albert Einstein
Time is what the clock says.
Albert Einstein
