More quotes by Albert Einstein
I want to know all God's thoughts.
Albert Einstein
Even on the most solemn occasions I got away without wearing socks and hid that lack of civilization in high boots
Albert Einstein
This is a question too difficult for a mathematician. It should be asked of a philosopher(when asked about completing his income tax form)
Albert Einstein
No fairer destiny could be allotted to any physical theory than that it should of itself point out the way to the introduction of a more comprehensive theory, in which it lives on as a limiting case.
Albert Einstein
You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.
Albert Einstein
I think that a particle must have a separate reality independent of the measurements. That is an electron has spin, location and so forth even when it is not being measured. I like to think that the moon is there even if I am not looking at it.
Albert Einstein
People are like bicycles. They can keep their balance only as long as they keep moving.
Albert Einstein
How do I work? I grope.
Albert Einstein
You cannot beat a roulette table unless you steal money from it.
Albert Einstein
Morality is of the highest importance - but for us, not for God.
Albert Einstein
It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man.
Albert Einstein
Insofar as we may at all claim that slavery has been abolished today, we owe its abolition to the practical consequences of science
Albert Einstein
Since I have introduced this term I had always a bad conscience. . . . I cannot help to feel it strongly and I am unable to believe that such an ugly thing should be realized in nature.
Albert Einstein
Experts are just trained dogs.
Albert Einstein
Body and soul are not two different things, but only two different ways of perceiving the same thing. Similarly, physics and psychology are only different attempts to link our experiences together by way of systematic thought.
Albert Einstein
Often in evolutionary processes a species must adapt to new conditions in order to survive. Today the atomic bomb has altered profoundly the nature of the world as we know it, and the human race consequently finds itself in a new habitat to which it must adapt its thinking.
Albert Einstein
Albert is a very poor student. He is mentally slow, unsociable and is always daydreaming. He is spoiling it for the rest of the class. It would be in the best interests of all if he were removed from school immediately.
Albert Einstein
Politics is far more complicated than physics.
Albert Einstein
The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.
Albert Einstein
Hail to the man who went through life always helping others, knowing no fear, and to whom aggressiveness and resentment are alien. Such is the stuff of which the great moral leaders are made.
Albert Einstein
