More quotes by Albert Einstein
The Jewish scriptures admirably illustrate the development from the religion of fear to moral religion, a development continued in the New Testament. The religions of all civilized peoples, especially the peoples of the Orient, are primarily moral religions.
Albert Einstein
It is certainly true that principles cannot be more securely founded than on experience and consciously clear thinking.
Albert Einstein
The beauty of it is that we have to content ourselves with the recognition of the miracle, beyond which there is no legitimate way out.
Albert Einstein
The world is not full of evil because of those who do wrong. It is full of evil because of those who do nothing.
Albert Einstein
I must try, however, as best I can, although I am very conscious of the fact that our feelings and strivings are often contradictory and obscure and that they cannot be expressed in easy and simple formulas.
Albert Einstein
The satisfaction of physical needs is indeed the indispensable pre-condition of a satisfactory existence, but in itself it is not enough. In order to be content, men must also have the possibility of developing their intellectual and artistic powers to whatever extent accords with their personal characteristics and abilities.
Albert Einstein
The most beautiful gift of nature is that it gives one pleasure to look around and try to comprehend what we see.
Albert Einstein
If I am right the Germans will say I was a German, and the French will say I was a Jew If I am wrong the Germans will say I was a Jew and the French will say I was a German.
Albert Einstein
The tyranny of the ignoramuses is insurmountable and assured for all time.
Albert Einstein
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
Science has gone a long way toward helping man to free himself from the burden of hard labor yet, science itself is not a liberator. It creates means, not goals. It is up to men to utilize those means to achieve reasonable goals.
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
That a man can take pleasure in marching in formation to the strains of a band is enough to make me despise him. He has only been given his big brain by mistake a backbone was all he needed.
Albert Einstein
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
Anyone who thinks science is trying to make human life easier or more pleasant is utterly mistaken.
Albert Einstein
I should much rather see a reasonable agreement with Arabs based upon living together than the creation of a Jewish state.
Albert Einstein
No fairer destiny could be allotted to any physical theory than that it should of itself point out the way to the introduction of a more comprehensive theory, in which it lives on as a limiting case.
Albert Einstein
If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.
Albert Einstein
To take those fools in clerical garb seriously is to show them too much honor.
Albert Einstein
Study and, in general, the pursuit of truth and beauty is the sphere in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives. Study and, in general, the pursuit of truth and beauty is the sphere in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.
