More quotes by Albert Einstein
The traditional religions worry me. Their long history proves that they have not understood the meaning of the commandment: Thou shalt not kill. If we want to save this world from unimaginable destruction we should concentrate not on the faraway God , but on the heart of the individual.
Albert Einstein
Ninety nine failed solutions equals a gain of 99 pieces of information.
Albert Einstein
Concepts which have proved useful for ordering things easily assume so great an authority over us, that we forget their terrestrial origin and accept them as unalterable facts. They then become labeled as 'conceptual necessities,' etc. The road of scientific progress is frequently blocked for long periods by such errors.
Albert Einstein
It would be my greatest sadness to see Zionists (Jews) do to Palestinian Arabs much of what Nazis did to Jews.
Albert Einstein
Body and soul are not two different things, but only two different ways of perceiving the same thing. Similarly, physics and psychology are only different attempts to link our experiences together by way of systematic thought.
Albert Einstein
The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.
Albert Einstein
The one who walks alone, is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been.
Albert Einstein
Strange is our situation here upon earth.
Albert Einstein
There is nothing divine about morality it is a purely human affair. If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed. What the individual can do is to give a fine example, and to have the courage to uphold ethical values .. in a society of cynics.
Albert Einstein
The splitting of the atom has changed everything except for how we think.
Albert Einstein
I want to be cremated so people won't come to worship at my bones.
Albert Einstein
The tyranny of the ignoramuses is insurmountable and assured for all time.
Albert Einstein
It is easy to say something new, if all senses one will eschew. But hardly ever is found, that the new is also sound.
Albert Einstein
The most difficult part about understanding something is that we understand it all.
Albert Einstein
How do I work? I grope.
Albert Einstein
Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted in important affairs.
Albert Einstein
A thousand things can prove me right and one can prove me wrong.
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!
Albert Einstein
In the teaching of geography and history a sympathetic understanding (should) be fostered for the characteristics of the different peoples of the world, especially for those who we are in the habit of describing as primitive.
Albert Einstein
I am strongly drawn to the simple life and am often oppressed by the feeling that I am engrossing an unnecessary amount of the labour of my fellow men. I regard class differences as contrary to justice and, in the last resort, based on force. I also consider that plain living is good for everybody, physically and mentally.
Albert Einstein
