Quote

If I were to start taking care of my grooming, I would no longer be my own self... so the hell with it... I will continue to be unconcerned about it, which surely has the advantage that I'm left in peace by many a fop who would otherwise come to see me.

Albert Einstein

You are right in speaking of the moral foundations of science, but you cannot turn around and speak of the scientific foundations of morality.
Albert Einstein
Image
What humanity owes to personalities like Buddha, Moses, and Jesus ranks for me higher than all the achievements of the enquiring and constructive mind.
Albert Einstein
Image
Creating a new theory is not like destroying an old barn and erecting a skyscraper in its place. It is rather like climbing a mountain and gaining new and wider views.
Albert Einstein
Image
The discovery of nuclear chain reactions need not bring about the destruction of mankind any more than did the discovery of matches. We only must do everything in our power to safeguard against its abuse. Only a supranational organization, equipped with a sufficiently strong executive power, can protect us.
Albert Einstein

Those who manage their way into a crisis are not necessarily the right people to manage their way out of a crisis
Albert Einstein
Image
We have penetrated far less deeply into the regularities obtaining within the realm of living things, but deeply enough nevertheless to sense at least the rule of fixed necessity... what is still lacking here is a grasp of the connections of profound generality, but not a knowledge of order itself.
Albert Einstein
Image
Try first to be a man of value success will follow.
Albert Einstein
Image
Even trivial events demonstrate strong devotion to the Universe and small concern for ego.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is high time the ideal of success should be replaced with the ideal of service.
Albert Einstein
Image
I'd rather be an optimist and a fool than a pessimist and right.
Albert Einstein
Image
Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect, as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.
Albert Einstein
Image
Political leaders or governments owe their position partly to force and partly to popular election. They cannot be regarded as representative of best elements, morally or intellectually, in their respective nations.
Albert Einstein
Image
The most aggravating thing about the younger generation is that I no longer belong to it.
Albert Einstein
Image
How can any educated person stay away from the Greeks? I have always been far more interested in them than in science.
Albert Einstein
Image
Assumptions are made and most assumptions are wrong.
Albert Einstein
Image
Although I tried to be universal in thought, I am European by instinct and inclination.
Albert Einstein
Image
If I were wrong, wouldn't one be enough?
Albert Einstein
Image
I do not believe in immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no superhuman authority behind it.
Albert Einstein
Image
Unlimited competition leads to a huge waste of labor, and to that crippling of the social consciousness of individuals.
Albert Einstein
Image
Then there are the fanatical atheists whose intolerance is of the same kind as the intolerance of the religious fanatics and comes from the same source.
