More quotes by Albert Einstein
The trouble with the younger generation is that they don't stay young for very long.
Albert Einstein
Ethical axioms are found and tested not very differently from the axioms of science. Truth is what stands the test of experience.
Albert Einstein
Common sense is that layer of prejudices which we acquire before we are sixteen.
Albert Einstein
What is the meaning of human life, or, for that matter, of the life of any creature? To know the answer to this question means to be religious. You ask: Does it make any sense, then, to pose this question? I answer: The man who regards his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unhappy but hardly fit for life.
Albert Einstein
To act intelligently in human affairs is only possible if an attempt is made to understand the thoughts, motives, and apprehension of one's opponent so fully that one can see the world through their eyes.
Albert Einstein
It is not a lack of real affection that scares me away again and again from marriage. Is it a fear of the comfortable life, of nice furniture, of dishonor that I burden myself with, or even the fear of becoming a contented bourgeois.
Albert Einstein
Measured objectively, what a man can wrest from Truth by passionate striving is utterly infinitesimal. But the striving frees us from the bonds of the self and makes us comrades of those who are the best and the greatest.
Albert Einstein
Science not only purifies the religious impulse of the dross of its anthropomorphism but also contributes to a religious spiritualization of our understanding of life.
Albert Einstein
With me every peep becomes a trumpet solo.
Albert Einstein
Please explain the problem to me slowly, as I do not understand things quickly.
Albert Einstein
The laws of gravity cannot be held responcible for people falling in love.
Albert Einstein
If I had known they were going to do this, I would have become a shoemaker.
Albert Einstein
Each of us visits this Earth involuntarily, and without an invitation. For me, it is enough to wonder at the secrets.
Albert Einstein
The right to search for truth implies also a duty.
Albert Einstein
Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.
Albert Einstein
Keep on sowing your seed, for you never know which will grow - perhaps it all will.
Albert Einstein
It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.
Albert Einstein
Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life.
Albert Einstein
If a man aspires towards a righteous life, his first act of abstinence is from injury to animals.
Albert Einstein
The high destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule.
Albert Einstein
