More quotes by Albert Einstein
What I'm really interested in is whether God could have made the world in a different way that is, whether the necessity of logical simplicity leaves any freedom at all.
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
When I'm judging a theory, I ask myself whether, if I were God, I would have arranged the world in such a way.
Albert Einstein
Who would have thought around 1900 that in fifty years time we would know so much more and understand so much less.
Albert Einstein
The facts, although interesting, are irrelevant.
Albert Einstein
The most aggravating thing about the younger generation is that I no longer belong to it.
Albert Einstein
Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as hard duty. Never regard study as duty but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.
Albert Einstein
Each makes this cosmos and its construction the pivot of his emotional life, in order to find in this way peace and security which he can not find in the narrow whirlpool of personal experience.
Albert Einstein
We will never be able to solve the problems of tomorrow with the thinking of today
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
One feels the insignificance of the individual, and it makes one happy.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
[Misquotation not by Einstein.] If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker. [Apparently remorseful for his role in the development of the atom bomb.]
Albert Einstein
Striving for social justice is the most valuable thing to do in life.
Albert Einstein
James Clerk Maxwell's [work is the] most profound and the most fruitful.
Albert Einstein
The laws of gravity cannot be held responcible for people falling in love.
Albert Einstein
I do not believe in race as such. Race is a fraud. All modern people are the conglomeration of so many ethnic mixtures that no pure race remains.
Albert Einstein
The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which he has attained liberation from the self.
Albert Einstein
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 Universe is a friendly place.
Albert Einstein
