More quotes by Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
External conditions can, to a certain extent, reduce, but never cancel individual repsonsibility.
Albert Einstein
Necessity is the mother of all invention.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second.
Albert Einstein
Men like Henry George [ the pioneer of land value taxation] are rare, unfortunately. One cannot imagine a more beautiful combination of intellectual keenness, artistic form, and fervent love of justice.
Albert Einstein
We should be on our guard not to overestimate science and scientific methods when it is a question of human problems, and we should not assume that experts are the only ones who have the right to express themselves on questions affecting the organization of society.
Albert Einstein
The ways of creation are wrapt in mystery. We may only marvel, and bow our head.
Albert Einstein
Education is only a ladder to gather fruit from the tree of knowledge, not the fruit itself
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
Classical thermodynamics ... is the only physical theory of universal content which I am convinced ... will never be overthrown.
Albert Einstein
In art, and in the higher ranges of science, there is a feeling of harmony which underlies all endeavor. There is no true greatness in art or science without that sense of harmony.
Albert Einstein
People should be more like animals . . . they should be more intuitive they should not be too conscious of what they do while they do it.
Albert Einstein
When forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence: Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter.
Albert Einstein
Common sense invents and constructs no less than its own field than science does in its domain. It is, however, in the nature of common sense not to be aware of this situation.
Albert Einstein
We experience ourselves our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.
Albert Einstein
The strongest force in the universe is Compound Interest.
Albert Einstein
If I would be a young man again and had to decide how to make my living, I would not try to become a scientist or scholar or teacher. I would rather choose to be a plumber or a peddler in hope to find that modest degree of independence still available under present circumstances.
Albert Einstein
Success = 1 part work + 1 part play + 1 part keep your mouth shut
Albert Einstein
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
Albert Einstein
