Image
Science will stagnate if it is made to serve practical goals.
Albert Einstein
Image
Political leaders or governments owe their position partly to force and partly to popular election. They cannot be regarded as representative of best elements, morally or intellectually, in their respective nations.
Albert Einstein
Image
The supreme goal of all theory is to make the irreducible basic elements as simple and as few as possible without having to surrender the adequate representation of a simple datum of experience.
Albert Einstein
Image
Einstein didn't speak until he was four, leading most of his teachers to believe he was crazy. That is until he whipped out the theory of relativity. BAYUM! Showed you guys.
Albert Einstein
Image
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.
Albert Einstein

This topic brings me to that worst outcrop of herd life, the military system, which I abhor... This plague-spot of civilization ought to be abolished with all possible speed. Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them!
Albert Einstein

I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express in words afterwards.
Albert Einstein
Image
Enough for me is the mystery of the eternity of life, and the inkling of the marvelous structure of reality. There is in this neither a will nor a goal, nor a must, but only sheer being.
Albert Einstein
Image
The scientist is activated by a wonder and awe before the mysterious comprehensibility of the universe which is yet finally beyond his grasp. In its profoundest depths it is inaccessible to man.
Albert Einstein
Image
Mere unbelief in a personal God is no philosophy at all.
Albert Einstein
Image
I never failed in mathematics. Before I was fifteen I had mastered differential and integral calculus.
Albert Einstein
Image
Solutions to tough problems should be made as simple as possible - and no simpler.
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
Desire for approval and recognition is a healthy motive, but the desire to be acknowledged as better, stronger, or more intelligent than a fellow being or fellow scholar easily leads to an excessively egoistic psychological adjustment, which may become injurious for the individual and for the community.
Albert Einstein
Image
It occurred to me by intuition, and music was the driving force behind that intuition. My discovery was the result of musical perception.
Albert Einstein
Image
Love is a better teacher than duty.
Albert Einstein
Image
As long as there are sovereign nations possessing great power, war is inevitable.
Albert Einstein
Image
We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am strongly drawn to a frugal life and am often oppressively aware that I am engrossing an undue amount of the labor of my fellow men.
Albert Einstein
Image
Science is the attempt to make the chaotic diversity of our sense-experience correspond to a logically uniform system of thought.
