As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue.
Albert Einstein
Image
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
Albert Einstein
Image
[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
Image
A new idea comes suddenly and in a rather intuitive way, but intuition is nothing but the outcome of earlier intellectual experience.
Albert Einstein
Image
One should respect an honest person even if he expresses opinions differing from one's own.
Albert Einstein
Image
Hail to the man who went through life always helping others, knowing no fear, and to whom aggressiveness and resentment are alien. Such is the stuff of which the great moral leaders are made.
Albert Einstein

Creativity is the residue of time wasted.
Albert Einstein

This topic brings me to that worst outcrop of herd life, the military system, which I abhor... This plague-spot of civilization ought to be abolished with all possible speed. Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them!

Even the scholars in various lands have been acting as if their brains had been amputated.
Albert Einstein
Image
When the nazis came to power, I looked to the universities that prided themselves upon their intellectual freedom, and they failed me. I looked to the German press, which prided itself on the freedom of the press, and it failed me. Until at last the churches stood alone, and that for which I once had little regard earned my respect.
Albert Einstein
Image
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
Image
When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous
Albert Einstein
Image
The horizon of many people is a circle with a radius of zero. They call this their point of view.
Albert Einstein
Image
My sense of god is my sense of wonder about the universe.
Albert Einstein

The tragedy of life is what dies in the hearts and souls of people while they live.
Albert Einstein
Image
Your ancestors dragged these black people from their homes by force and in the white man's quest for wealth and an easy life they have been ruthlessly suppressed and exploited, degraded into slavery. The modern prejudice against Negroes is the result of the desire to maintain this unworthy condition.
Albert Einstein

The pioneers of a warless world are the young men (and women) who refuse military service.
Albert Einstein

We are here for the sake of others
Albert Einstein

[Max Planck] was one of the finest people I have ever known... but he really didn't understand physics, [because] during the eclipse of 1919 he stayed up all night to see if it would confirm the bending of light by the gravitational field. If he had really understood [general relativity], he would have gone to bed the way I did
