More quotes by Albert Einstein
If you want different results, do not do the same things.
Albert Einstein
One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.
Albert Einstein
In every true searcher of Nature there is a kind of religious reverence.
Albert Einstein
My political ideal is democracy. Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized.
Albert Einstein
Cherish the questions, for the answers keep changing.
Albert Einstein
In their struggle for the ethical good, teachers of religion must have the stature to give up the doctrine of a personal god.
Albert Einstein
The most important tool of the theoretical physicist is his wastebasket.
Albert Einstein
Every age has its beautiful moments.
Albert Einstein
We should take care not to make the intellect our god it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.
Albert Einstein
You can't resolve a dilemma with all the very same mind that made it
Albert Einstein
The state is made for man, not man for the state.... That is to say, the state should be our servant and not we its slaves
Albert Einstein
Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth. (said of Mahatma Gandhi)
Albert Einstein
A theory can be proved by experiment but no path leads from experiment to the birth of a theory.
Albert Einstein
Combinatory play seems to be the essential feature in productive thought.
Albert Einstein
[Misquotation not by Einstein.] If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker. [Apparently remorseful for his role in the development of the atom bomb.]
Albert Einstein
Only a monomaniac gets anything done.
Albert Einstein
A ship is safe at shore but it's not built for that.
Albert Einstein
The comprehensibility of the world seems to me a wonder or eternal secret. Here lies the sense of wonder which increases even more with the development of our knowledge.
Albert Einstein
If men as individuals surrender to the call of their elementary instincts, avoiding pain and seeking satisfaction only for their own selves, the result for them all taken together must be a state of insecurity, of fear, and of promiscuous misery.
Albert Einstein
One scientific epoch ended and another began with James Clerk Maxwell.
Albert Einstein
