More quotes by Albert Einstein
Somebody who only reads newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who scorns eyeglasses. He is completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of his times, since he never gets to see or hear anything else.
Albert Einstein
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift.
Albert Einstein
Considered logically this concept is not identical with the totality of sense impressions referred to but it is an arbitrary creation of the human (or animal) mind.
Albert Einstein
Except in mathematics, the shortest distance between point A and point B is seldom a straight line. I don't believe in mathematics.
Albert Einstein
The physicist's greatest tool is his wastebasket.
Albert Einstein
The words of language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my mechanism of thought. The physical entities which seem to serve as elements in thought are certain signs and more or less clear images.
Albert Einstein
I never think of the future. It comes soon enough. When visiting the U.S. from Germany for a winter academic stay.
Albert Einstein
If I had only known, I would have been a locksmith.
Albert Einstein
My relationship to the Jewish people has become my strongest human bond, ever since I became fully aware of our precarious situation among the nations of the world.
Albert Einstein
It is only to the individual that a soul is given.
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
I do not much believe in education. Each person ought to be his or her own model, however frightful that may be.
Albert Einstein
Einstein was attending a music salon in Germany before the second world war, with the violinist S. Suzuki. Two Japanese women played a German piece of music and a woman in the audience exclaimed: How wonderful! It sounds so German! Einstein responded: Madam, people are all the same.
Albert Einstein
The greatest knowledge a person can possess is the address of the local library.
Albert Einstein
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
Albert Einstein
The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.
Albert Einstein
Betterment of conditions the world over is not essentially dependent on scientific knowledge but on the fulfillment of human traditions and ideals.
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
I believe that Gandhi’s views were the most enlightened of all the political men in our time. We should strive to do things in his spirit: not to use violence in fighting for our cause, but by non-participation in anything you believe is evil.
Albert Einstein
The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.
Albert Einstein
