Imagination is more powerful than knowledge.
Albert Einstein
Image
A ship is always safe at the shore - but that is NOT what it is built for.
Albert Einstein
Image
I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
Albert Einstein

Subtle is the Lord. Malicious, He is not.
Albert Einstein
Image
[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
Image
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
Image
I have made no secret, either privately or publicly, of any sense of outrage over officially enforced military and war service. I regard it as a duty of conscience to fight against such barbarous enslavement of the individual with every means available.
Albert Einstein
Image
Almost all the other fellows do not look from the facts to the theory but from the theory to the facts they cannot get out of the network of already accepted concepts instead, comically, they only wriggle about inside.
Albert Einstein
Image
Love is not the stupidest thing a man does, but it cannot be blamed on gravity.
Albert Einstein
Image
Something deeply hidden had to be behind things.
Albert Einstein
Image
Marvellous, what ideas the young people have these days. But I don't believe a word of it.
Albert Einstein
Image
Small is the number of them that see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
Albert Einstein
Image
It would be better if you began to teach others only after you yourself have learned something.
Albert Einstein
Image
My deep religiosity [...] found an abrupt ending at the age of twelve, through the reading of popular scientific books.
Albert Einstein
Image
Education is not received. It is achieved.
Albert Einstein
Image
Falling in love is not at all the most stupid thing that people do - but gravitation cannot be held responsible for it.
Albert Einstein
Image
If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or objects.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have little patience with scientists who take a board of wood, look for its thinnest part, and drill a great number of holes where drilling is easy.
Albert Einstein
Image
The woman who follows the crowd will usually believe that I said this.
Albert Einstein
Image
It would of course be a great step forward if we succeeded in combining the gravitational field and the electromagnetic field into a single structure. Only so could the era in theoretical physics inaugurated by Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell be brought to a satisfactory close.
