Genius is making complex ideas simple, not making simple ideas complex
Albert Einstein
Image
The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
Albert Einstein
Image
Concern for man himself and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors, concern for the great unsolved problems of the organization of labor and the distribution of goods-in order that the creations of our mind shall be a blessing and not a curse to mankind. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations.
Albert Einstein

Women marry men hoping they will change. Men marry women hoping they will not.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
Image
You are the only person I know who has the same attitude towards physics as I have: belief in the comprehension of reality through something basically simple and unified... It seems hard to sneak a look at God's cards. But that He plays dice and uses 'telepathic' methods... is something that I cannot believe for a single moment.
Albert Einstein
Image
Whatever your problems in math are, I assure mine are greater.
Albert Einstein
Image
When you look at yourself from a universal standpoint, something inside always reminds or informs you that there are bigger and better things to worry about.
Albert Einstein
Image
The war is won, but the peace is not.
Albert Einstein
Image
Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.
Albert Einstein
Image
As long as I have any choice in the matter, I shall live only in a country where civil liberty, tolerance and equality of all citizens before the law prevail.
Albert Einstein
Image
All meaningful and lasting change starts first in your imagination and then works its way out. Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Albert Einstein
Image
On the other hand, the concept owes its meaning and its justification exclusively to the totality of the sense impressions which we associate with it.
Albert Einstein

Manager solves problems, leader prevents them.
