Albert Einstein
Image
The bitter and the sweet come from the outside, the hard from within, from one's own efforts.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein

To get to know a country, you must have direct contact with the earth. It's futile to gaze at the world through a car window.
Albert Einstein
Image
Agreements about what is good or not, are usually not worth much. It is very much like art, is it not an art to lead a good life?
Albert Einstein
Image
I received your letter of June 10th. I have never talked to a Jesuit priest in my life and I am astonished by the audacity to tell such lies about me. From the viewpoint of a Jesuit priest I am, of course, and have always been an atheist.
Albert Einstein

Only morality in our actions can give beauty and dignity to life.
Albert Einstein
Image
No one must think that Newton’s great creation can be overthrown in any real sense by this [Theory of Relativity] or by any other theory. His clear and wide ideas will for ever retain their significance as the foundation on which our modern conceptions of physics have been built.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is certainly true that principles cannot be more securely founded than on experience and consciously clear thinking.
Albert Einstein
Image
A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty - it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man.
Albert Einstein
Image
For the most part, I do the thing which my own nature prompts me to do. It is embarrassing to earn so much respect and love for it.
Albert Einstein
Image
Infinite striving to be the best is man's duty It is its own reward. Everything else is in god's hands. It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.
