More quotes by Albert Einstein
But the creative principle resides in mathematics. In a certain sense, therefore, I hold true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed.
Albert Einstein
I am also convinced that one gains the purest joy from spirited things only when they are not tied in with earning one's livelihood.
Albert Einstein
One may say the eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility.
Albert Einstein
Failure is only postponed success as long as courage 'coaches' ambition.
Albert Einstein
If you want the answer to anything, go sit in Nature for awhile
Albert Einstein
The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.
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
On quantum theory I use up more brain grease (rough translation of German idiom) than on relativity.
Albert Einstein
A theory is the more impressive the greater the simplicity of its premises is, the more different kinds of things it relates, and the more extended its area of applicability.
Albert Einstein
The future is an unknown, but a somewhat predictable unknown. To look to the future we must first look back upon the past. That is where the seeds of the future were planted. I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.
Albert Einstein
Any society which does not insist upon respect for all life must necessarily decay.
Albert Einstein
The creative principle [of science] resides in mathematics.
Albert Einstein
Life is a Mystery, not a problem waiting to be solved.
Albert Einstein
God gave me the stubbornness of a mule and a fairly keen scent.
Albert Einstein
I have become an obstinate heretic in the eyes of my colleagues. Momentary success carries more power of conviction than reflections upon principles.
Albert Einstein
The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.
Albert Einstein
All means prove but blunt instruments, if they have not behind them a living spirit.
Albert Einstein
When a man points a finger at someone else, he should remember that three of his fingers are pointing at himself. Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics I can assure you that mine are still greater.
Albert Einstein
I have lived to prove Thoreau's contention that a man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.
Albert Einstein
The number of natural hypothesis that can explain any given phenomena is infinite.
Albert Einstein
