Albert Einstein
The only real valuable thing is intuition. The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery
Albert Einstein
.. free and responsible development of the individual, so that he may place his powers freely and gladly in the service of all mankind. There is no room in this for the divinization of a nation, of a class, let alone of an individual. Are we not all children of one father, as it is said in religious language?
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
The road to perdition has ever been accompanied by lip service to an ideal.
Albert Einstein
The state is made for man, not man for the state.... That is to say, the state should be our servant and not we its slaves
Albert Einstein
Curiosity is its own reason.
Albert Einstein
A tyranny based on ... deception and maintained by terror must inevitably perish from the poison it generates within itself.
Albert Einstein
But there is another reason for the high repute of mathematics: it is mathematics that offers the exact natural sciences a certain measure of security which, without mathematics, they could not attain.
Albert Einstein
Subtle is the Lord. Malicious, He is not.
Albert Einstein
Education is not received. It is achieved.
