More quotes by Albert Einstein

Image
I hate crowds and making speeches. I hate facing cameras and having to answer to a crossfire of questions. Why popular fancy should seize upon me, a scientist, dealing in abstract things and happy if left alone, is a manifestation of mass psychology that is beyond me.
Albert Einstein
Image
God is a scientist, not a magician.
Albert Einstein
Image
A great thought begins by seeing something differently, with a shift of the mind's eye.
Albert Einstein
Image
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms.
Albert Einstein
Image
An expert is a person who has few new ideas a beginner is a person with many.
Albert Einstein
Image
If you feed your mind as often as you feed your stomach, then you'll never have to worry about feeding your stomach or a roof over your head or clothes on your back.
Albert Einstein
Image
How do I work? I grope.
Albert Einstein
Image
What a sad era when it is easier to smash an atom than a prejudice.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have firmly decided to bite the dust with a minimum of medical assistance when my time comes, and up to then to sin to my wicked heart's content.
Albert Einstein
Image
Conscious man, to be sure, has at all times been keenly aware that life is an adventure, that life must, forever, be wrested from death.
Albert Einstein
Image
Had I known that the Germans would not succeed in producing an atomic bomb, I would not have lifted a finger.
Albert Einstein
Image
In quitting this strange world he has once again preceded me by a little. That doesn't mean anything. For those of us who believe in physics, this separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, however tenacious.
Albert Einstein
Image
Arrows of hate have been aimed at me too, but they have never hit me, because somehow they belonged to another world with which I have no connection whatsoever.
Albert Einstein
Image
The devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life. Either we suffer in our health, or we suffer in our soul, or we get fat.
Albert Einstein
Image
The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself. A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin what else does a man need to be happy?
Albert Einstein
Image
This is a time, when there seems to be a particular need for friends of wisdom and truth to join together.
Albert Einstein
Image
My only refuge, as a serious young man, from the despair of my financial burden to my family, is that I did everything I could to never permit myself any amusements or diversions except those afforded by my studies.
Albert Einstein
Image
Force always attracts men of low morality, and I believe it to be an invariable rule that tyrants of genius are succeeded by scoundrels.
Albert Einstein
Image
Life is sacred, that is to say, it is the supreme value, to which all other values are subordinate.
Albert Einstein
Image
All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom.
Albert Einstein
