Albert Einstein
What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the World.
Albert Einstein
No worthy problem is ever solved within the plane of its original conception.
Albert Einstein
Only the one who does not question is safe from making a mistake.
Albert Einstein
I am happy because I want nothing from anyone. I do not care for money. Decorations, titles or distinctions mean nothing to me. I do not crave praise. The only thing that gives me pleasure, apart from my work, my violin and my sailboat, is the appreciation of my fellow workers.
Albert Einstein
God does not play dice [with the universe]. [Ger., Gott wurfelt nicht.]

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
They come into being not through demonstration but through revelation, through the medium of powerful personalities.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
Do you really believe that the moon isn’t there when nobody looks?
Albert Einstein
I have reached the conviction that the abolition of the death penalty is desirable. Reasons: 1) Irreparability in the event of an error of justice, 2) Detrimental moral influence of the execution procedure on those who, whether directly or indirectly, have to do with the procedure.
Albert Einstein
If I were wrong, wouldn't one be enough?
Albert Einstein
You can't use an old map to explore a new world.
Albert Einstein
The value of achievement lies in the achieving.
Albert Einstein
