The physicists say that I am a mathematician, and the mathematicians say that I am a physicist. I am a completely isolated man and though everybody knows me, there are very few people who really know me.

More quotes by Albert Einstein
Relativity applies to physics, not ethics.
Albert Einstein
In the view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who says there is no God. But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support of such views. (The Expanded Quotable Einstein, Princeton University, page 214)
Albert Einstein
To me the worst thing seems to be a school principally to work with methods of fear, force and artificial authority. Such treatment destroys the sound sentiments, the sincerity and the self-confidence of pupils and produces a subservient subject.
Albert Einstein
I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being.
Albert Einstein
That is the way to learn the most, that when you are doing something with such enjoyment that you don't notice that the time passes.
Albert Einstein
The wireless telegraph is not difficult to understand. The ordinary telegraph is like a very long cat. You pull the tail in New York, and it meows in Los Angeles. The wireless is the same, only without the cat.
Albert Einstein
Assumptions are made and most assumptions are wrong.
Albert Einstein
If tomorrow were never to come, it would not be worth living today.
Albert Einstein
The series of integers is obviously an invention of the human mind, a self-created tool which simplifies the ordering of certain sensory experiences.
Albert Einstein
The most important tool of the theoretical physicist is his wastebasket.
Albert Einstein
Schools need not preach political doctrine to defend democracy. If they shape men capable of critical thought and trained in social attitudes, that is all that is necessary.
Albert Einstein
Life is like riding a bicycle. If you want to stay balanced you've got to keep moving forward.
Albert Einstein
Intelligence is not the ability to store information, but to know where to find it.
Albert Einstein
Life is a preparation for the future and the best preparation for the future is to live as if there were none.
Albert Einstein
The man of science is a poor philosopher.
Albert Einstein
I'm not a genius. I'm just passionately curious.
Albert Einstein
The comprehensibility of the world seems to me a wonder or eternal secret. Here lies the sense of wonder which increases even more with the development of our knowledge.
Albert Einstein
I am not a positivist. Positivism states that what cannot be observed does not exist. This conception is scientifically indefensible, for it is impossible to make valid affirmations of what people 'can' or 'cannot' observe. One would have to say 'only what we observe exists,' which is obviously false.
Albert Einstein
Joy and amazement of the beauty and grandeur of this world of which man can just form a faint notion.
Albert Einstein
The same thinking that has led you to where you are is not going to lead you to where you want to go.
Albert Einstein
