Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.
Albert Einstein
Image
People are like bicycles. They can keep their balance only as long as they keep moving.
Albert Einstein
Image
But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people--first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have deep faith that the principle of the universe will be beautiful and simple
Albert Einstein
Image
One had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year.

Our schoolbooks glorify war and conceal its horrors. They indoctrinate children with hatred. I would teach peace rather than war, love rather than hate.
Albert Einstein
Image
Feeling and longing are the motive forces behind all human endeavor and human creations.
Albert Einstein
Image
In art, and in the higher ranges of science, there is a feeling of harmony which underlies all endeavor. There is no true greatness in art or science without that sense of harmony.
Albert Einstein
Image
When you trip over love, it is easy to get up. But when you fall in love, it is impossible to stand again.
Albert Einstein

Unless Americans come to realize that they are not stronger in the world because they have the bomb but weaker because of their vulnerability to atomic attack, they are not likely to conduct their policy at Lake Success [the United Nations] or in their relations with Russia in a spirit that furthers the arrival at an understanding.
Albert Einstein
Image
One should never impose one's views on a problem one should rather study it, and in time a solution will reveal itself.
Albert Einstein
Image
Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn
Albert Einstein
Image
Fortunate Newton, happy childhood of science. Nature to him was an open book. He stands before us strong, certain, and alone.
Albert Einstein
Image
I soon learned to scent out that which was able to lead to fundamentals and to turn aside from everything else, from the multitude of things which clutter up the mind and divert it from the essential.
Albert Einstein
Image
I appeal to all men and women, whether they be eminent or humble, to declare that they will refuse to give any further assistance to war or the preparation of war.
Albert Einstein

If there is any religion that could respond to the needs of modern science, it would be Buddhism.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am not a positivist. Positivism states that what cannot be observed does not exist. This conception is scientifically indefensible, for it is impossible to make valid affirmations of what people 'can' or 'cannot' observe. One would have to say 'only what we observe exists,' which is obviously false.

You can't resolve a dilemma with all the very same mind that made it

If people would only talk about what they understood, Earth would be a very quiet place.

Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.
