Albert Einstein
Image
Out of the multitude of our sense experiences we take, mentally and arbitrarily, certain repeatedly occurring complexes of sense impression (partly in conjunction with sense impressions which are interpreted as signs for sense experiences of others), and we attribute to them a meaning the meaning of the bodily object.
Albert Einstein
Image
I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil. My God created laws that take care of that. His universe is not ruled by wishful thinking, but by immutable laws.
Albert Einstein
Image
The same thinking and actions that created our problems cannot be used to solve them.
Albert Einstein

As for the search for truth, I know from my own painful searching, with its many blind alleys, how hard it is to take a reliable step, be it ever so small, towards the understanding of that which is truly significant.
Albert Einstein

One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.

Image
All that's different about me is that I still ask the questions most people stopped asking at age five.
Albert Einstein
Image
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So is a lot.
Albert Einstein
Image
The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.
Albert Einstein
Image
Good acts are like good poems. One may easily get their drift, but they are not rationally understood.
Albert Einstein
Image
Mere unbelief in a personal God is no philosophy at all.
Albert Einstein

It is our American habit if we find the foundations of our educational structure unsatisfactory to add another story or wing.

In conclusion I wish to say that in working at the problem here dealt with I have had the loyal assistance of my friend and colleague M. Besso, and that I am indebted to him for several valuable suggestions.

Berlin is the place to which I am most closely bound by human and scientific ties.

Live life to the fullest. You have to color outside the lines once in a while if you want to make your life a masterpiece. Laugh some every day. Keep growing, keep dreaming, keep following your heart. The important thing is not to stop questioning.
