More quotes by Albert Einstein
My mind is my laboratory.
Albert Einstein
We experience ourselves our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.
Albert Einstein
The emotional state that leads to achievements resembles that of a worshiper or the lover.
Albert Einstein
Everybody acts not only under external compulsion but also in accordance with inner necessity.
Albert Einstein
One cannot help but be in awe when [one] contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality.
Albert Einstein
The restriction of knowledge to an elite group destroys the spirit of the society and leads to its intellectual impoverishment.
Albert Einstein
It is my inner conviction that the development of science seeks in the main to satisfy the longing for pure knowledge.
Albert Einstein
The minority, the ruling class at present, has the schools and press, usually the Church as well, under its thumb. This enables it to organize and sway the emotions of the masses, and make its tool of them.
Albert Einstein
My interest in science was always essentially limited to the study of principles.... That I have published so little is due to this same circumstance, as the great need to grasp principles has caused me to spend most of my time on fruitless pursuits.
Albert Einstein
When I was young, all I wanted and expected from life was to sit quietly in some corner doing my work without the public paying attention to me. And now see what has become of me.
Albert Einstein
But if the longing for the achievement of the goal is powerfully alive within us, then shall we not lack the strength to find the means for reaching the goal and for translating it into deeds.
Albert Einstein
Man is, at one and the same time, a solitary being and a social being.
Albert Einstein
It has become appallingly clear that our technology has surpassed our humanity. I hope that someday, our humanity might yet surpass our technology.
Albert Einstein
In a healthy nation there is a kind of dramatic balance between the will of the people and the government, which prevents its degeneration into tyranny.
Albert Einstein
Watch the stars, and from them learn.
Albert Einstein
I do not like to state an opinion on a matter unless I know the precise facts.
Albert Einstein
The pursuit of knowledge is more valuable than its possession.
Albert Einstein
Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem to characterize our age. If we desire sincerely and passionately the safety, the welfare and the free development of the talents of all men, we shall not be in want of the means to approach such a state.
Albert Einstein
One strength of the communist system of the East is that it has some of the character of a religion and inspires the emotions of a religion.
Albert Einstein
My pacifism is an instinctive feeling, a feeling that possesses me because the murder of men is disgusting. My attitude is not derived from any intellectual theory but is based on my deepest antipathy to every kind of cruelty and hatred.
Albert Einstein
