We will never be able to solve the problems of tomorrow with the thinking of today
Albert Einstein

What a deep faith in the rationality of the structure of the world and what a longing to understand even a small glimpse of the reason revealed in the world there must have been in Kepler and Newton to enable them to unravel the mechanism of the heavens in long years of lonely work!
Albert Einstein
Image
I was originally supposed to become an engineer but the thought of having to expend my creative energy on things that make practical everyday life even more refined, with a loathsome capital gain as the goal, was unbearable to me.
Albert Einstein
Image
Subtle is the Lord. Malicious, He is not.
Albert Einstein

Don't do anything that goes against your conscience, even if your country says so.

[Ernest Rutherford is]...a second Newton.
Albert Einstein

I cannot accept any concept of God based on the fear of life or the fear of death, or blind faith. I cannot prove to you that there is no personal God, but if I were to speak of him I would be a liar.
Albert Einstein

While it is true that an inherently free and scrupulous person may be destroyed, such an individual can never be enslaved or used as a blind tool.
Albert Einstein

Man can find meaning in life only through devoting himself to society.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
Image
Bureaucracy is the death of all sound work.
Albert Einstein
Image
Feeling and longing are the motive forces behind all human endeavor and human creations.
Albert Einstein
Image
The stakes are immense, the task colossal, the time is short. But we may hope - we must hope - that man's own creation, man's own genius, will not destroy him.
Albert Einstein
Image
If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live. This is regarded as probably NOT a quote by Einstein.
Albert Einstein
Image
The physicist's greatest tool is his wastebasket.
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.
Albert Einstein

The greater the doubt, the greater the awakening
Albert Einstein
Image
If the rabble continues to occupy itself with you, then simply don't read that hogwash, but rather leave it for the reptile from whom it has been fabricated.
Albert Einstein
Image
Concepts that have proven useful in ordering things easily achieve such authority over us that we forget their earthly origins and accept them as unalterable givens.
Albert Einstein
Image
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.
