Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.
Albert Einstein
Image
As long as there will be a man, there will be wars.
Albert Einstein
Image
As for the search for truth, I know from my own painful searching, with its many blind alleys, how hard it is to take a reliable step, be it ever so small, towards the understanding of that which is truly significant.
Albert Einstein

The moon does not simply disappear when we are not looking at it.
Albert Einstein

The only sure way to avoid making mistakes is to have no new ideas.
Albert Einstein
Image
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.

It is difficult even to attach a precise meaning to the term scientific truth. So different is the meaning of the word truth according to whether we are dealing with a fact of experience, a mathematical proposition or a scientific theory. Religious truth conveys nothing clear to me at all.
Albert Einstein
Image
The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.
Albert Einstein
Image
I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.
Albert Einstein
Image
Through the release of atomic energy, our generation has brought into the world the most revolutionary force since prehistoric man's discovery of fire. This basic force of the universe cannot be fitted into the outmoded concept of narrow nationalisms.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is enough for me to contemplate the mystery of conscious life perpetuating itself through all eternity, to reflect upon the marvelous structure of the universe which we dimly perceive, and to try humbly to comprehend an infinitesimal part of the intelligence manifested in nature.
Albert Einstein
Image
The great moral teachers of humanity were in a way artistic geniuses in the art of living.
Albert Einstein
Image
Show me a satisfied man, and I'll show you a failure.

Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it ... he who doesn't ... pays it.
