More quotes by Albert Einstein

Image
I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.
Albert Einstein
Image
If I would be a young man again and had to decide how to make my living, I would not try to become a scientist or scholar or teacher. I would rather choose to be a plumber or a peddler in hope to find that modest degree of independence still available under present circumstances.
Albert Einstein
Image
Men marry women with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they will change. Invariably they are both disappointed.
Albert Einstein
Image
Without creative, independently thinking and judging personalities the upward development of society is as unthinkable as the development of the individual personality without the nourishing soil of the community.

We sleep 1/3 of our lives away.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is a very high goal which, with our weak powers, we can reach only very inadequately, but which gives a sure foundation to our aspirations and valuations.
Albert Einstein

Relations between pure and applied mathematicians are based on trust and understanding. Namely, pure mathematicians do not trust applied mathematicians, and applied mathematicians do not understand pure mathematicians.
Albert Einstein
Image
What I see in Nature is a magnificent structure that we can comprehend only very imperfectly, and that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of humility. This is a genuinely religious feeling that has nothing to do with mysticism.
Albert Einstein
Image
The state exists for man, not man for the state. The same may be said of science. These are old phrases, coined by people who saw in human individuality the highest human value. I would hesitate to repeat them, were it not for the ever recurring danger that they may be forgotten, especially in these days of organization and stereotypes.

The bigotry of the nonbeliever is for me nearly as funny as the bigotry of the believer.
Albert Einstein
Image
Marie Curie is, of all celebrated beings, the only one whom fame has not corrupted.
Albert Einstein
Image
People love chopping wood. In this activity one immediately sees results.
Albert Einstein
Image
Balance in large measure is knowing the things that can be changed, putting them in proper perspective, and recognizing the things that will not change.
Albert Einstein
Image
I would teach peace rather than war, love rather than hate.
Albert Einstein
Image
I believe that I have really found the relationship between gravitation and electricity, assuming that the Miller experiments are based on a fundamental error. Otherwise, the whole relativity theory collapses like a house of cards.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is open to every man to choose the direction of his striving and also every man may draw comfort from Lessing's fine saying, that the search for truth is more precious than its possession.
Albert Einstein
Image
Truly novel inventions emerge only in one's youth. Later one becomes ever more experienced, famous-and foolish.
Albert Einstein
Image
Concern for man and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations.
