Time is not at all what it seems. It does not flow in only one direction, and the future exists simultaneously with the past.

You cannot prevent and prepare for war at the same time.
Albert Einstein
Image
You imagine that I look back on my life's work with calm satisfaction. But from nearby it looks quite different. There is not a single concept of which I am convinced that it will stand firm, and I feel uncertain whether I am in general on the right track.
Albert Einstein
Image
It's no accident that capitalism has brought with it progress, not merely in production but also in knowledge. Egoism and competition are, alas, stronger forces than public spirit and sense of duty.
Albert Einstein
Image
I hate all the loathsome nonsense that goes with patriotism.
Albert Einstein
Image
All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree.
Albert Einstein
Image
It gives me great pleasure indeed to see the stubbornness of an incorrigible nonconformist warmly acclaimed.
Albert Einstein
Image
All I want to do is learn to think like God. All the rest is just details.
Albert Einstein
Image
The greatest scientists are artists as well.
Albert Einstein
Image
You are right in speaking of the moral foundations of science, but you cannot turn around and speak of the scientific foundations of morality.
Albert Einstein
Image
The word 'God' is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, and religious scripture a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can (for me) change this.
Albert Einstein
Image
A theory can be proved by experiment but no path leads from experiment to the birth of a theory.
Albert Einstein
Image
I see a pattern, but my imagination cannot picture the maker of that pattern. I see a clock, but I cannot envision the clockmaker. The human mind is unable to conceive of the four dimensions, so how can it conceive of a God, before whom a thousand years and a thousand dimensions are as one?
Albert Einstein
Image
What lead me more or less directly to the special theory of relativity was the conviction that the electromotive force acting on a body in motion in a magnetic field was nothing else but an electric field.
Albert Einstein
Image
I would teach peace rather than war, love rather than hate.
Albert Einstein
Image
There exists a passion for comprehension, just as there exists a passion for music. That passion is rather common in children, but gets lost in most people later on. Without this passion there would be neither mathematics nor natural science.
Albert Einstein
Image
The true definition of madness is repeating the same action, over and over, hoping for a different result.
Albert Einstein
Image
Dear Posterity, If you have not become more just, more peaceful, and in general more sensible... then may the Devil take you!
Albert Einstein
Image
Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
Albert Einstein
Image
Time flies when you are having fun.
Albert Einstein
Image
One who scorns the power of intuition will never rise above the ranks of journeyman calculator.
