More quotes by Albert Einstein
It is impossible to get anywhere without sinning against reason.
Albert Einstein
The only justification for our concepts and systems of concepts is that they serve to represent the complex of our experiences beyond this they have not legitimacy.
Albert Einstein
Somebody who only reads newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who scorns eyeglasses. He is completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of his times, since he never gets to see or hear anything else.
Albert Einstein
One can't teach a cat not to catch birds
Albert Einstein
If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare me a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German, and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.
Albert Einstein
I know little about nature and hardly anything about men.
Albert Einstein
I do not believe that a moral philosophy can ever be founded on a scientific basis. … The valuation of life and all its nobler expressions can only come out of the soul’s yearning toward its own destiny. Every attempt to reduce ethics to scientific formulas must fail. Of that I am perfectly convinced.
Albert Einstein
Schools need not preach political doctrine to defend democracy. If they shape men capable of critical thought and trained in social attitudes, that is all that is necessary.
Albert Einstein
We can invent as many theories we like, and any one of them can be made to fit the facts. But that theory is always preferred which makes the fewest number of assumptions.
Albert Einstein
Necessity is the mother of all invention.
Albert Einstein
Common sense is that layer of prejudices which we acquire before we are sixteen.
Albert Einstein
If you cannot explain it simply, you do not understand it enough.
Albert Einstein
Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Albert Einstein
Figuring out how to think about the problem.
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
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.
Albert Einstein
I must seem like an ostrich who forever burries its head in the relativistic sands in order not to face the evil quanta.
Albert Einstein
If you want to make your children brilliant, tell them fairy tales. If you want to make them more brilliant, tell them more fairy tales.
Albert Einstein
The most aggravating thing about the younger generation is that I no longer belong to it.
Albert Einstein
I cannot then believe in this concept of an anthropomorphic God who has the powers of interfering with these natural laws. As I said before, the most beautiful and most profound religious emotion that we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. And this mysticality is the power of all true science.
Albert Einstein
