Quote

Since that deluge of newspaper articles I have been so flooded with questions, invitations, suggestions, that I keep dreaming I am roasting in Hell, and the mailman is the devil eternally yelling at me, showering me with more bundles of letters at my head because I have not answered the old ones.

I have also considered many scientific plans during my pushing you around in your pram!
Albert Einstein
Image
Desire for approval and recognition is a healthy motive, but the desire to be acknowledged as better, stronger, or more intelligent than a fellow being or fellow scholar easily leads to an excessively egoistic psychological adjustment, which may become injurious for the individual and for the community.
Albert Einstein
Image
Time is relative its only worth depends upon what we do as it is passing.
Albert Einstein
Image
How can cosmic religious feeling be communicated from one person to another, if it can give rise to no definite notion of a God and no theology? In my view, it is the most important function of art and science to awaken this feeling and keep it alive in those who are receptive to it.
Albert Einstein
Image
Time is not at all what it seems. It does not flow in only one direction, and the future exists simultaneously with the past.
Albert Einstein
Image
A man has to work so hard so that something of his personality stays alive. A tomcat has it so easy, he has only to spray and his presence is there for years on rainy days.
Albert Einstein
Image
He who finds though that lets us penetrate even a little deeper into the eternal mystery of nature has been granted great grace. He who, in addition, experiences the recognition, sympathy, and help of the best minds of his times, had been given almost more happiness than one man can bear.

Imagination is the most powerful force in the universe.
Albert Einstein
Image
In a sailboat I become oblivious to everything else in the world.
Albert Einstein
Image
... a person who is religiously enlightened appears to me to be one who has, to the best of his ability, liberated himself from the fetters of his selfish desires and is preoccupied with thoughts, feelings, and aspirations to which he clings because of their superpersonal value.
Albert Einstein
Image
Imagination without knowledge may create beautiful things, knowledge without imagination can create only perfect ones.
Albert Einstein
Image
The supreme task of the physicist is to arrive at those universal elementary laws from which the cosmos can be built up by pure deduction. There is no logical path to these laws only intuition, resting on sympathetic understanding of experience, can reach them.
Albert Einstein
Image
How insidious Nature is when one is trying to get at it experimentally.
Albert Einstein
Image
The only real valuable thing is intuition.
Albert Einstein
Image
I agree with your remark about loving your enemy as far as actions are concerned. But for me the cognitive basis is the trust in an unrestricted causality. 'I cannot hate him, because he must do what he does.' That means for me more Spinoza than the prophets.
Albert Einstein
Image
Science can only state what is, not what should be.
Albert Einstein
Image
Don't second guess the mistakes you've made, others will do that for you. Make things as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Albert Einstein
Image
The religion of the future will be cosmic religion. It will transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology.
Albert Einstein
Image
Scarcely anyone who comprehends this theory can escape its magic.
Albert Einstein
Image
A theory is something nobody believes, except the person who made it. An experiment is something everybody believes, except the person who made it.
