More quotes by Albert Einstein
The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
Albert Einstein
The really valuable method of thought to arrive at a logically coherent system is intuition.
Albert Einstein
The stakes are immense, the task colossal, the time is short. But we may hope - we must hope - that man's own creation, man's own genius, will not destroy him.
Albert Einstein
There are few enough people with sufficient independence to see the weaknesses and follies of their contemporaries and remain themselves untouched by them.
Albert Einstein
Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.
Albert Einstein
If you want to make your children brilliant, tell them fairy tales. If you want to make them more brilliant, tell them more fairy tales.
Albert Einstein
It is really a puzzle what drives one to take one's work so devilishly seriously.
Albert Einstein
I am neither especially clever nor especially gifted. I am only very, very curious.
Albert Einstein
One had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year.
Albert Einstein
Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.
Albert Einstein
To my mind, to kill in war is not a whit better than to commit ordinary murder.
Albert Einstein
In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep, one must above all be a sheep oneself.
Albert Einstein
God may be subtle, but he isn't plain mean.
Albert Einstein
When I was young I found out that the big toe always ends up making a hole in a sock. So I stopped wearing socks.
Albert Einstein
Communities tend to be guided less than individuals by conscience and a sense of responsibility. How much misery does this fact cause mankind! It is the source of wars and every kind of oppression, which fill the earth with pain, sighs and bitterness.
Albert Einstein
We are all life trying to live, among other life trying to live.
Albert Einstein
One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community.
Albert Einstein
I made one great mistake in my life-when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made but there was some justification-the danger that the Germans would make them.
Albert Einstein
Everyone should be respected as an individual, but no one idolized.
Albert Einstein
It's not that life has been easy, perfect or exactly as expected. I just choose to be happy and grateful no matter how it all turns out. If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
Albert Einstein
