More quotes by Albert Einstein
Only world law can assure progress towards a civilized peaceful community.
Albert Einstein
What is significant in one's own existence one is hardly aware, and it certainly should not bother the other fellow. What does a fish know about the water in which he swims all his life?
Albert Einstein
Matter is spirit reduced to point of visibility.
Albert Einstein
The thing is, not to stop questioning.
Albert Einstein
The most important question a person can ask is, Is the Universe a friendly place?
Albert Einstein
Nature conceals her secrets because she is sublime, not because she is a trickster.
Albert Einstein
If you feed your mind as often as you feed your stomach, then you'll never have to worry about feeding your stomach or a roof over your head or clothes on your back.
Albert Einstein
An oligarchy of private capital cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society because under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information.
Albert Einstein
Imagination is more powerful than knowledge.
Albert Einstein
Scientists believe that every occurrence, including the affairs of human beings, is due to the laws of nature. Therefore a scientist cannot be inclined to believe that the course of events can be influenced by prayer, that is, by a supernaturally manifested wish.
Albert Einstein
I would teach peace rather than war, love rather than hate.
Albert Einstein
Man is, at one and the same time, a solitary being and a social being.
Albert Einstein
For any one who is pervaded with the sense of causal law in all that happens, who accepts in real earnest the assumption of causality, the idea of a Being who interferes with the sequence of events in the world is absolutely impossible. Neither the religion of fear nor the social-moral religion can have any hold on him.
Albert Einstein
No scientist thinks in formulae.
Albert Einstein
You can't blame gravity for falling in love.
Albert Einstein
It is not a lack of real affection that scares me away again and again from marriage. Is it a fear of the comfortable life, of nice furniture, of dishonor that I burden myself with, or even the fear of becoming a contented bourgeois.
Albert Einstein
I am doing just fine, considering that I have triumphantly survived Nazism and two wives.
Albert Einstein
Since others have explained my theory, I can no longer understand it myself.
Albert Einstein
A man's ethical behaviour should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
Albert Einstein
Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.
Albert Einstein
