[Newton wrote to Halley ... that he would not give Hooke any credit] That, alas, is vanity. You find it in so many scientists. You know, it has always hurt me to think that Galileo did not acknowledge the work of Kepler.

More quotes by Albert Einstein
[Misquotation not by Einstein.] If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker. [Apparently remorseful for his role in the development of the atom bomb.]
Albert Einstein
Man's will, sustained by an indominable conviction, is much more powerful than material forces that seem insurmountable.
Albert Einstein
I have reached the conviction that the abolition of the death penalty is desirable. Reasons: 1) Irreparability in the event of an error of justice, 2) Detrimental moral influence of the execution procedure on those who, whether directly or indirectly, have to do with the procedure.
Albert Einstein
In my opinion there is no other salvation for civilization and even for the human race than the creation of a world government with security on the basis of law. As long as there are sovereign states with their separate armaments and armament secrets, new world wars cannot be avoided.
Albert Einstein
At the same time, as social beings, we are moved in the relations with our fellow beings by such feelings as sympathy, pride, hate, need for power, pity, and so on.
Albert Einstein
The Nuremberg Trial of the German war criminals was tacitly based on the recognition of the principle: criminal actions cannot be excused if committed on government orders conscience supersedes the authority of the law of the state.
Albert Einstein
Play is the highest from of research.
Albert Einstein
The more I learn of physics, the more I am drawn to metaphysics.
Albert Einstein
Where you see difficulty, I see opportunity.
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
When a man points a finger at someone else, he should remember that three of his fingers are pointing at himself. Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics I can assure you that mine are still greater.
Albert Einstein
An empty stomach is not a good political adviser.
Albert Einstein
No one but a theorist believes his theory everyone puts faith in a laboratory result but the experimenter himself.
Albert Einstein
The only way to escape the personal corruption of praise is to go on working. One is tempted to stop and listen to it. The only thing is to turn away and go on working. Work. There is nothing else.
Albert Einstein
Physics is an attempt conceptually to grasp reality as something that is considered to be independent of its being observed. In this sense one speaks of physical reality.
Albert Einstein
Let every man judge according to his own standards, by what he has himself read, not by what others tell him.
Albert Einstein
Just as with the man in the fairy tale who turned whatever he touched into gold, with me everything is turned into newspaper clamor.
Albert Einstein
I became more and more convinced that even nature could be understood as a relatively simple mathematical structure.
Albert Einstein
There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will.
Albert Einstein
The facts, although interesting, are irrelevant.
Albert Einstein
