The stakes are immense, the task colossal, the time is short. But we may hope - we must hope - that man's own creation, man's own genius, will not destroy him.

More quotes by Albert Einstein
I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his [sic] creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious ourselves.
Albert Einstein
Without the sense of fellowship with men of like mind... life would have seemed to me empty.
Albert Einstein
Love is a better teacher than duty.
Albert Einstein
I want to know the thoughts of God. Everything else is just details.
Albert Einstein
The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and truth. To make a goal of comfort or happiness has never appealed to me a system of ethics built on this basis would be sufficient only for a herd of cattle.
Albert Einstein
The only real valuable thing is intuition.
Albert Einstein
The field is the sole influence of the particle.
Albert Einstein
If men as individuals surrender to the call of their elementary instincts, avoiding pain and seeking satisfaction only for their own selves, the result for them all taken together must be a state of insecurity, of fear, and of promiscuous misery.
Albert Einstein
Truth is what stands the test of experience.
Albert Einstein
I am a determinist. As such, I do not believe in free will. The Jews believe in free will. They believe that man shapes his own life. I reject that doctrine philosophically. In that respect I am not a Jew.
Albert Einstein
Anti-Semitism is nothing but the antagonistic attitude produced in the non-Jew by the Jewish group. This is a normal social reaction. The Jewish group has thrived on oppression and on the antagonism it has forever met in the world... the root cause is their use of enemies they create in order to keep solidarity.
Albert Einstein
God reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists.
Albert Einstein
The Universe is a friendly place.
Albert Einstein
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
Albert Einstein
The point is to develop the childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition and to guide the child over to important fields for society. Such a school demands from the teacher that he be a kind of artist in his province.
Albert Einstein
The word 'God' is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, and religious scripture a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can (for me) change this.
Albert Einstein
[There is] a duty in refusing to cooperate in any undertaking that violates the Constitutional rights of the individual. This holds in particular for all inquisitions that are concerned with the private life and the political affiliations of the citizens.
Albert Einstein
A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.
Albert Einstein
Gravity is a response to geometry.
Albert Einstein
Something deeply hidden had to be behind things.
Albert Einstein
