More quotes by Albert Einstein
Somebody who only reads newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who scorns eyeglasses. He is completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of his times, since he never gets to see or hear anything else.
Albert Einstein
The last thing to collapse is the surface.
Albert Einstein
Be a loner. That gives you time to wonder.
Albert Einstein
Since our inner experiences consist of reproductions, and combinations of sensory impressions, the concept of a soul without a body seem to me to be empty and devoid of meaning.
Albert Einstein
God did not create evil. Just as darkness is the absence of light, evil is the absence of God.
Albert Einstein
Strenuous intellectual work and the study of God's Nature are the angels that will lead me through all the troubles of this life with consolation, strength, and uncompromising rigor.
Albert Einstein
I am strongly drawn to the simple life and am often oppressed by the feeling that I am engrossing an unnecessary amount of the labour of my fellow men. I regard class differences as contrary to justice and, in the last resort, based on force. I also consider that plain living is good for everybody, physically and mentally.
Albert Einstein
Science not only purifies the religious impulse of the dross of its anthropomorphism but also contributes to a religious spiritualization of our understanding of life.
Albert Einstein
The only justifiable purpose of political institutions is to ensure the unhindered development of the individual.
Albert Einstein
I urge a willingness to reserve a place in rational science for non-rational wonder.
Albert Einstein
Intelligence and genius
Albert Einstein
The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe.
Albert Einstein
The traditional religions worry me. Their long history proves that they have not understood the meaning of the commandment: Thou shalt not kill. If we want to save this world from unimaginable destruction we should concentrate not on the faraway God , but on the heart of the individual.
Albert Einstein
Compound interest is the eighth natural wonder of the world and the most powerful thing I have ever encountered.
Albert Einstein
Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it ... he who doesn't ... pays it.
Albert Einstein
To be free means to be independent, not to be influenced by what others think and say.
Albert Einstein
You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.
Albert Einstein
Hell! there ain't no rules around here! We are tryin' to accomplish somep'n!
Albert Einstein
Only six men in the world know about relativity. I am not one of them. When I ask them to explain, they confused me.
Albert Einstein
For the moral attitudes of a people that is supported by religion need always aim at preserving and promoting the sanity and vitality of the community and its individuals, since otherwise this community is bound to perish. A people that were to honour falsehood, defamation, fraud, and murder would be unable, indeed, to subsist for very long.
