When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have made no secret, either privately or publicly, of any sense of outrage over officially enforced military and war service. I regard it as a duty of conscience to fight against such barbarous enslavement of the individual with every means available.
Albert Einstein
Image
Violence sometimes may have cleared away obstructions quickly, but it never has proved itself creative.
Albert Einstein
Image
I was very pleased with your kind letter. Until now I never dreamed of being something like a hero. But since you've given me the nomination I feel that I am one.
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.

All my life I have dealt with objective matters hence I lack both the natural aptitude and the experience to deal properly with people and to carry out official functions.
Albert Einstein
Image
The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.
Albert Einstein
Image
The satisfaction of physical needs is indeed the indispensable pre-condition of a satisfactory existence, but in itself it is not enough. In order to be content, men must also have the possibility of developing their intellectual and artistic powers to whatever extent accords with their personal characteristics and abilities.
Albert Einstein
Image
For science can only ascertain what is, but not what should be, and outside of its domain value judgments of all kinds remain necessary. Religion, on the other hand, deals only with evaluations of human thought and action: it cannot justifiably speak of facts and relationships between facts.
Albert Einstein
Image
Whatever there is of God and goodness in the universe, it must work itself out and express itself through us. We cannot stand aside and let God do it.
Albert Einstein
Image
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
Albert Einstein
Image
Success = 1 part work + 1 part play + 1 part keep your mouth shut
Albert Einstein
Image
If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.
Albert Einstein
Image
The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.
Albert Einstein
Image
If a man aspires towards a righteous life, his first act of abstinence is from injury to animals.
Albert Einstein
Image
I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is high time the ideal of success should be replaced with the ideal of service.
Albert Einstein
Image
All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual.

Live life to the fullest. You have to color outside the lines once in a while if you want to make your life a masterpiece. Laugh some every day. Keep growing, keep dreaming, keep following your heart. The important thing is not to stop questioning.
