More quotes by Albert Einstein
Small is the number of them that see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
Albert Einstein
Highly developed spirits often encounter resistance from mediocre minds.
Albert Einstein
No one but a theorist believes his theory everyone puts faith in a laboratory result but the experimenter himself.
Albert Einstein
A man's ethical behaviour should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
Albert Einstein
External conditions can, to a certain extent, reduce, but never cancel individual repsonsibility.
Albert Einstein
The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogmas and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description.
Albert Einstein
In science, moreover, the work of the individual is so bound up with that of his scientific predecessors and contemporaries that it appears almost as an impersonal product of his generation.
Albert Einstein
For an idea which, at first, does not seem absurd, there is no hope.
Albert Einstein
To act intelligently in human affairs is only possible if an attempt is made to understand the thoughts, motives, and apprehension of one's opponent so fully that one can see the world through their eyes.
Albert Einstein
Concepts that have proven useful in ordering things easily achieve such authority over us that we forget their earthly origins and accept them as unalterable givens.
Albert Einstein
Creating a new theory is not like destroying an old barn and erecting a skyscraper in its place. It is rather like climbing a mountain and gaining new and wider views.
Albert Einstein
It is little short of a miracle that modern methods of instruction have not already completely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry.... I believe that one could even deprive a healthy beast of prey of its voraciousness if one could force it with a whip to eat continuously whether it were hungry or not.
Albert Einstein
We are all life trying to live, among other life trying to live.
Albert Einstein
On the other hand, although I have a regular work schedule, I take time to go for long walks on the beach so that I can listen to what is going on inside my head. If my work isn't going well, I lie down in the middle of a workday and gaze at the ceiling while I listen and visualize what goes on in my imagination.
Albert Einstein
Almost all the other fellows do not look from the facts to the theory but from the theory to the facts they cannot get out of the network of already accepted concepts instead, comically, they only wriggle about inside.
Albert Einstein
Well-being and happiness never appeared to me as an absolute aim. I am even inclined to compare such moral aims to the ambitions of a pig.
Albert Einstein
When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive knowledge.
Albert Einstein
Experience alone can decide on truth.
Albert Einstein
The individual who has experienced solitude will not easily become a victim of mass suggestion.
Albert Einstein
A theory is the more impressive the greater is the simplicity of its premises, the more different are the kinds of things it relates and the more extended the range of its applicability.
Albert Einstein
