More quotes by Albert Einstein
Why do people speak of great men in terms of nationality? Great Germans, great Englishmen? Goethe always protested against being called a German poet. Great men are simply men and are not to be considered from the point of view of nationality, nor should the environment in which they were brought up be taken into account.
Albert Einstein
I have always loved solitude, a trait which tends to increase with age.
Albert Einstein
Each act is an island in time, to be judged on its own.
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
One picture is worth a thousand words
Albert Einstein
The important things are always simple.
Albert Einstein
How was I able to live alone before, my little everything? Without you I lack self-confidence, passion for work, and enjoyment of life--in short, without you, my life is no life. [Written to his wife, Mileva]
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
While I am a convinced pacifist there are circumstances in which I believe the use of force is appropriate - namely, in the face of an enemy unconditionally bent on destroying me and my people.
Albert Einstein
Galileo - the father of modern physics - indeed of modern science.
Albert Einstein
I have come to know the mutability of all human relationships and have learned to insulate myself against both heat and cold so that a temperature balance is fairly well assured.
Albert Einstein
I know little about nature and hardly anything about men.
Albert Einstein
I want to be cremated so people won't come to worship at my bones.
Albert Einstein
Learn from yesterday, live for today.
Albert Einstein
It is certainly true that principles cannot be more securely founded than on experience and consciously clear thinking.
Albert Einstein
I like to think the moon is there even if I am not looking at it.
Albert Einstein
I believe serious progress (in the abolition of war) can be achieved only when men become organized on an international scale and refuse, as a body, to enter military or war service.
Albert Einstein
Mysticism is in fact the only criticism people cannot level against my theory.
Albert Einstein
Nothing happens until something moves. When something vibrates, the electrons of the entire universe resonate with it. Everything is connected.
Albert Einstein
