More quotes by Albert Einstein
During the last century, and part of the one before, it was widely held that there was an unreconcilable conflict between knowledge and belief.
Albert Einstein
To be sure, it is not the fruits of scientific research that elevate a man and enrich his nature, but the urge to understand, the intellectual work, creative or receptive.
Albert Einstein
I live my daydreams in music.
Albert Einstein
For every one billion particles of antimatter there were one billion and one particles of matter. And when the mutual annihilation was complete, one billionth remained - and that's our present universe.
Albert Einstein
With fame I become more and more stupid, which of course is a very common phenomenon.
Albert Einstein
Smoke like a chimney, work like a horse, eat without thinking, go for a walk only in really pleasant company.
Albert Einstein
Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it. One should earn one's living by work of which one is sure one is capable. Only when we do not have to be accountable to anybody can we find joy in scientific endeavor.
Albert Einstein
More and more I come to value charity and love of one's fellow being above everything else...All our lauded technological progress-our very civilization-is like the axe in the hand of the pathological criminal.
Albert Einstein
The state exists for man, not man for the state. The same may be said of science. These are old phrases, coined by people who saw in human individuality the highest human value. I would hesitate to repeat them, were it not for the ever recurring danger that they may be forgotten, especially in these days of organization and stereotypes.
Albert Einstein
The wireless telegraph is not difficult to understand. The ordinary telegraph is like a very long cat. You pull the tail in New York, and it meows in Los Angeles. The wireless is the same, only without the cat.
Albert Einstein
The sceptic will say, 'It may well be true that this system of equations is reasonable from a logical standpoint, but this does not prove that it corresponds to nature.' You are right, dear sceptic. Experience alone can decide on truth.
Albert Einstein
I like to think the moon is there even if I am not looking at it.
Albert Einstein
Even on the most solemn occasions I got away without wearing socks and hid that lack of civilization in high boots
Albert Einstein
One can only continue to expect to be read if one omits everything that is unimportant.
Albert Einstein
If you took half of something and continued to take half of that half and so on, you would never reach an end.
Albert Einstein
Mere unbelief in a personal God is no philosophy at all.
Albert Einstein
External conditions can, to a certain extent, reduce, but never cancel individual repsonsibility.
Albert Einstein
All men are ignorant, just in different fields.
Albert Einstein
The individual feels the vanity of human desires and aims, and the nobility and marvelous order which are revealed in nature and in the world of thought. He feels the individual destiny as an imprisonment and seeks to experience the totality of existence as a unity full of significance.
Albert Einstein
Realising the healthy international relations can be created only among populations made up of individuals who themselves are healthy and enjoy a measure a independence, the United Nations elaborated a Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted by the U.N. General Assembly on December 10, 1948.
