More quotes by Albert Einstein
The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
Albert Einstein
God casts the die, not the dice.
Albert Einstein
It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
Albert Einstein
There is separation of colored people from white people in the United States. That separation is not a disease of colored people. It is a disease of white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it.
Albert Einstein
Peace comes through understanding
Albert Einstein
We have penetrated far less deeply into the regularities obtaining within the realm of living things, but deeply enough nevertheless to sense at least the rule of fixed necessity... what is still lacking here is a grasp of the connections of profound generality, but not a knowledge of order itself.
Albert Einstein
I soon learned to scent out that which was able to lead to fundamentals and to turn aside from everything else, from the multitude of things which clutter up the mind and divert it from the essential.
Albert Einstein
Time does not exist - we invented it
Albert Einstein
It is just as important to make knowledge live and keep it alive as to solve specific problems.
Albert Einstein
The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.
Albert Einstein
Thanks to my fortunate idea of introducing the relativity principle into physics, you (and others) now enormously overrate my scientific abilities, to the point where this makes me quite uncomfortable.
Albert Einstein
Truth is what stands the test of experience.
Albert Einstein
Consider the concepts referred to in the words 'where', 'when', 'why', 'being', to the elucidation of which innumerable volumes of philosophy have been devoted. We fare no better in our speculations than a fish which should strive to become clear as to what is water.
Albert Einstein
Creativity is one of those hypnotic words which are prone to cast a spell upon our understanding and dissolve our thinking into haze.
Albert Einstein
The mind can proceed only so far upon what it knows and can prove. There comes a point where the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge, but can never prove how it got there. All great discoveries have involved such a leap
Albert Einstein
The creative scientist studies nature with the rapt gaze of the lover, and is guided as often by aesthetics as by rational considerations in guessing how nature works.
Albert Einstein
It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely.
Albert Einstein
All these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of man's actions.
Albert Einstein
Mozart's music is so pure and beautiful that I see it as a reflection of the inner beauty of the universe.
Albert Einstein
The only thing more dangerous than ignorance is arrogance
Albert Einstein
