I have lived to prove Thoreau's contention that a man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.
Albert Einstein
Image
I make it a rule not to clutter my mind with simple information that I can find in a book in five minutes.
Albert Einstein
Image
Not until we dare to regard ourselves as a nation, not until we respect ourselves, can we gain the esteem of others, or rather only then will it come of its own accord
Albert Einstein
Image
Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. You cannot subjugate a nation forcibly unless you wipe out every man, woman, and child. Unless you wish to use such drastic measures, you must find a way of settling your disputes without resort to arms.
Albert Einstein
Image
God did not create evil. Just as darkness is the absence of light, evil is the absence of God.
Albert Einstein
Image
The tyranny of the ignoramuses is insurmountable and assured for all time.
Albert Einstein

The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think
Albert Einstein
Image
I like neither new clothes nor new kinds of food.
Albert Einstein
Image
The words of language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my mechanism of thought. The physical entities which seem to serve as elements in thought are certain signs and more or less clear images.
Albert Einstein
Image
Am I, or the others crazy?
Albert Einstein
Image
Time and space are modes by which we think and not conditions in which we live.
Albert Einstein
Image
Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is just as important to make knowledge live and keep it alive as to solve specific problems.
Albert Einstein
Image
Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.
Albert Einstein
Image
Assumptions are made and most assumptions are wrong.
Albert Einstein
Image
Student is not a container you have to fill but a torch you have to light up.
Albert Einstein
Image
Measured objectively, what a man can wrest from Truth by passionate striving is utterly infinitesimal. But the striving frees us from the bonds of the self and makes us comrades of those who are the best and the greatest.
Albert Einstein
Image
[O]nly if every individual strives for truth can humanity attain a happier future the atavisms in each of us that stand in the way of a friendlier destiny can only thus be rendered ineffective.
Albert Einstein
Image
No fairer destiny could be allotted to any physical theory than that it should of itself point out the way to the introduction of a more comprehensive theory, in which it lives on as a limiting case.
Albert Einstein
