More quotes by Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
When forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence: Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter.
Albert Einstein
Genius simply cannot be reduced to a set of rules for anyone to follow.
Albert Einstein
If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.
Albert Einstein
Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.
Albert Einstein
It's very depressing to live in a time where it's easier to break an atom than a prejudice.
Albert Einstein
Scientific greatness is less a matter of intelligence than character if the scientist refuses to compromise or accept incomplete answers and persists in grappling the most basic and difficult questions.
Albert Einstein
We must not only learn to tolerate our differences. We must welcome them as the richness and diversity which can lead to true intelligence.
Albert Einstein
You have to color outside the lines once in a while if you want to make your life a masterpiece.
Albert Einstein
The important thing is to never stop questioning. Never lose a holy curiosity.
Albert Einstein
From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that we are here for the sake of each other.
Albert Einstein
When the nazis came to power, I looked to the universities that prided themselves upon their intellectual freedom, and they failed me. I looked to the German press, which prided itself on the freedom of the press, and it failed me. Until at last the churches stood alone, and that for which I once had little regard earned my respect.
Albert Einstein
Peace comes through understanding
Albert Einstein
Where the world ceases to be the scene of our personal hopes and wishes, where we face it as free beings admiring, asking and observing, there we enter the realm of Art and Science.
Albert Einstein
The aim (of education) must be the training of independently acting and thinking individuals who, however, see in the service to the community their highest life problem.
Albert Einstein
I have made the Bhagwad Gita as the main source of my inspiration and guide for the purpose of scientific investigations and formation of my theories.
Albert Einstein
Enough for me is the mystery of the eternity of life, and the inkling of the marvelous structure of reality. There is in this neither a will nor a goal, nor a must, but only sheer being.
Albert Einstein
We have penetrated far less deeply into the regularities obtaining within the realm of living things, but deeply enough nevertheless to sense at least the rule of fixed necessity... what is still lacking here is a grasp of the connections of profound generality, but not a knowledge of order itself.
Albert Einstein
The same thinking that has led you to where you are is not going to lead you to where you want to go.
Albert Einstein
There are few enough people with sufficient independence to see the weaknesses and follies of their contemporaries and remain themselves untouched by them.
Albert Einstein
