More quotes by Albert Einstein
While you're trying to get ahead, remember to get aheart as well. When your only problem IS a nail, all you want is a decent hammer. There are only two ways to live your life: one is as though nothing is a miracle the other is as though everything is a miracle.
Albert Einstein
Science can only state what is, not what should be.
Albert Einstein
Nothing happens until something moves.
Albert Einstein
Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as hard duty. Never regard study as duty but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.
Albert Einstein
The most precious things in life are not those you get for money.
Albert Einstein
It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely.
Albert Einstein
Earnestly I must exert myself in order to return as much as I have received.
Albert Einstein
It strikes me as unfair, and even in bad taste, to select a few of them for boundless admiration, attributing superhuman powers of mind and character to them. This has been my fate, and the contrast between the popular estimate of my powers and achievements and the reality is simply grotesque.
Albert Einstein
Our lives will be measured by what we do for others
Albert Einstein
If you want to make your children brilliant, tell them fairy tales. If you want to make them more brilliant, tell them more fairy tales.
Albert Einstein
No scientist thinks in formulae.
Albert Einstein
If people are good because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
Albert Einstein
Many of the things you can count, don't count. Many of the things you can't count, really count.
Albert Einstein
...and knowledge is one of the finest attributes of man - though often it is most loudly voiced by those who strive for it the least.
Albert Einstein
The economic anarchy of capitalist society as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evil.
Albert Einstein
I'm no more intelligent than the next guy. I'm just more curious.
Albert Einstein
My position concerning God is that of an agnostic. I am convinced that a vivid consciousness of the primary importance of moral principles for the betterment and ennoblement of life does not need the idea of a law-giver, especially a law-giver who works on the basis of reward and punishment.
Albert Einstein
Some men spend a lifetime in an attempt to comprehend the complexities of women. Others pre-occupy themselves with somewhat simpler tasks, such as understanding the theory of relativity!
Albert Einstein
I see only with deep regret that God punishes so many of His children for their numerous stupidities, for which only He Himself can be held responsible in my opinion, only His nonexistence could excuse Him.
Albert Einstein
We are here for the sake of others
Albert Einstein
