More quotes by Albert Einstein
I regard class differences as contrary to justice and, in the last resort, based on force.
Albert Einstein
Measured objectively, what a man can wrest from Truth by passionate striving is utterly infinitesimal. But the striving frees us from the bonds of the self and makes us comrades of those who are the best and the greatest.
Albert Einstein
A bartender is just a pharmacist with a limited inventory.
Albert Einstein
Mozart's music is so pure and beautiful that I see it as a reflection of the inner beauty of the universe.
Albert Einstein
A ship is always safe at the shore - but that is NOT what it is built for.
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
It is also a natural thing for a serious young man that he should form for himself as precise an idea as possible of the goal of his desires.
Albert Einstein
To get to know a country, you must have direct contact with the earth. It's futile to gaze at the world through a car window.
Albert Einstein
Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population.
Albert Einstein
Where you see difficulty, I see opportunity.
Albert Einstein
[Asked about a book in which 100 Nazi professors charged him with scientific error.] Were I wrong, one professor would have been quite enough.
Albert Einstein
It is my inner conviction that the development of science seeks in the main to satisfy the longing for pure knowledge.
Albert Einstein
We cannot despair about mankind knowing that Mozart was a man.
Albert Einstein
The most evident difference springs from the important part which is played in man by a relatively strong power of imagination and by the capacity to think, aided as it is by language and other symbolically devices.
Albert Einstein
Coincidences are God's way of staying anonymous.
Albert Einstein
[I] must seek in the stars that which was denied [to me] on earth.
Albert Einstein
Political leaders or governments owe their position partly to force and partly to popular election. They cannot be regarded as representative of best elements, morally or intellectually, in their respective nations.
Albert Einstein
All our thinking is of this nature, a free play with concepts.
Albert Einstein
Turkish soldiers are very brave. They love their homeland and they do not hesitate to give their lives for it if necessary.
Albert Einstein
It strikes me as unfair, and even in bad taste, to select a few of them for boundless admiration, attributing superhuman powers of mind and character to them. This has been my fate, and the contrast between the popular estimate of my powers and achievements and the reality is simply grotesque.
Albert Einstein
