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

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
If I could remember the names of all these particles, I'd be a botanist.
Albert Einstein
Image
You can't blame gravity for falling in love.
Albert Einstein
Image
If the bees disappear, man would have only four years of life left.

I want to know God's thoughts.
Albert Einstein
Image
I don't try to imagine a personal God it suffices to stand in awe at the structure of the world, insofar as it allows our inadequate senses to appreciate it.
Albert Einstein

We are all life trying to live, among other life trying to live.
Albert Einstein
