More quotes by Albert Einstein
In living through this great epoch, it is difficult to reconcile oneself to the fact that one belongs to that mad, degenerate species that boasts of its free will. How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will. In such a place even I should be an ardent patriot!
Albert Einstein
.. free and responsible development of the individual, so that he may place his powers freely and gladly in the service of all mankind. There is no room in this for the divinization of a nation, of a class, let alone of an individual. Are we not all children of one father, as it is said in religious language?
Albert Einstein
I am not a positivist. Positivism states that what cannot be observed does not exist. This conception is scientifically indefensible, for it is impossible to make valid affirmations of what people 'can' or 'cannot' observe. One would have to say 'only what we observe exists,' which is obviously false.
Albert Einstein
The high destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule.
Albert Einstein
There is a race between mankind and the universe. Mankind is trying to build bigger, better, faster, and more foolproof machines. The universe is trying to build bigger, better, and faster fools. So far the universe is winning.
Albert Einstein
I assert that the cosmic religious experience is the strongest and the noblest driving force behind scientific research.
Albert Einstein
Don't let the measurable drive out the relevant
Albert Einstein
Most people stop looking when they find the proverbial needle in the haystack. I would continue looking to see if there were other needles.
Albert Einstein
My pacifism is an instinctive feeling, a feeling that possesses me because the murder of men is disgusting. My attitude is not derived from any intellectual theory but is based on my deepest antipathy to every kind of cruelty and hatred.
Albert Einstein
Although I tried to be universal in thought, I am European by instinct and inclination.
Albert Einstein
Nationalism is the measels of mankind.
Albert Einstein
We must learn the difficult lesson that the future of Mankind will only be tolerable when our course, in world affairs as in others, is based upon justice and law rather than the threat of naked power.
Albert Einstein
A successful man is he who receives a great deal from his fellow men, usually incomparably more than corresponds to his service to them. The value of a man, however, should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.
Albert Einstein
The greatest activity of which man is capable: Opening up yet another fragment of the frontier of beauty.
Albert Einstein
It is both auspicious and peaceful for people to choose vegetarinism.
Albert Einstein
Weak people revenge. Strong people forgive. Intelligent People Ignore.
Albert Einstein
The only mistake in life is the lesson not learned.
Albert Einstein
The contemplation of this world beckoned as a liberation (...)The road to this paradise was not as comfortable and alluring as the road to the religious paradise but it has shown itself reliable, and I have never regretted having chosen it.
Albert Einstein
Curiosity is a delicate little plant that, aside from stimulation, stands mainly in need of freedom.
Albert Einstein
The world is not full of evil because of those who do wrong. It is full of evil because of those who do nothing.
Albert Einstein
