More quotes by Albert Einstein
If I could remember the names of all these particles, I'd be a botanist.
Albert Einstein
Given the millions of billions of Earth-like planets, life elsewhere in the Universe without a doubt, does exist. In the vastness of the Universe we are not alone.
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
To put it boldly, it is the attempt at a posterior reconstruction of existence by the process of conceptualization.
Albert Einstein
If you feed your mind as often as you feed your stomach, then you'll never have to worry about feeding your stomach or a roof over your head or clothes on your back.
Albert Einstein
It is really a puzzle what drives one to take one's work so devilishly seriously.
Albert Einstein
In every true searcher of Nature there is a kind of religious reverence.
Albert Einstein
Whatever your problems in math are, I assure mine are greater.
Albert Einstein
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
Albert Einstein
Failure is success in progress
Albert Einstein
Only a monomaniac gets anything done.
Albert Einstein
It may affront the military-minded person to suggest a regime that does not maintain any military secrets.
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
We are part of the whole which we call the universe, but it is an optical delusion of our mind that we think we are separate. This separateness is like a prison for us. Our job is to widen the circle of our compassion so we feel connected with all people and situations.
Albert Einstein
Non-cooperation in military matters should be an essential moral principle for all true scientists.
Albert Einstein
Thus I came...to a deep religiosity, which, however, reached an abrupt end at the age of 12. Through the reading of popular scientific books I soon reached a conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true....Suspicion against every kind of authority grew out of this experience...an attitude which has never left me.
Albert Einstein
It is both auspicious and peaceful for people to choose vegetarinism.
Albert Einstein
My success wasn't so much due to intelligence, but the fact that I stuck with problems longer.
Albert Einstein
I do not play games. There is not time for it. When I get through with work, I don't want anything that requires the working of the mind.
Albert Einstein
I'm not an atheist. I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books.
