Time does not exist - we invented it
Albert Einstein

The rest of my life (as a 39 year old) I want to reflect on what life is.
Albert Einstein
Image
You imagine that I look back on my life's work with calm satisfaction. But from nearby it looks quite different. There is not a single concept of which I am convinced that it will stand firm, and I feel uncertain whether I am in general on the right track.
Albert Einstein
Image
There is nothing divine about morality it is a purely human affair. If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed. What the individual can do is to give a fine example, and to have the courage to uphold ethical values .. in a society of cynics.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is not a lack of real affection that scares me away again and again from marriage. Is it a fear of the comfortable life, of nice furniture, of dishonor that I burden myself with, or even the fear of becoming a contented bourgeois.
Albert Einstein

The family that prays together...is brainwashing their children.

We must begin to inculcate our children against militarism by educating them in the spirit of pacifism. Our schoolbooks glorify war and conceal it's horror. I would teach peace rather than war.
Albert Einstein

...the physicist cannot simply surrender to the philosopher the critical contemplation of the theoretical foundations for, he himself knows best, and feels more surely where the shoe pinches...Physical conceptions are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world.

Dear Posterity, If you have not become more just, more peaceful, and in general more sensible... then may the Devil take you!
Albert Einstein
Image
I do not much believe in education. Each person ought to be his or her own model, however frightful that may be.
Albert Einstein
Image
On the other hand, although I have a regular work schedule, I take time to go for long walks on the beach so that I can listen to what is going on inside my head. If my work isn't going well, I lie down in the middle of a workday and gaze at the ceiling while I listen and visualize what goes on in my imagination.
Albert Einstein

X + Y + Z X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.
Albert Einstein
Image
It was the experience of mystery - even if mixed with fear - that engendered religion.
Albert Einstein

The true measure of a man is the degree to which he has managed to subjugate his ego.
Albert Einstein
Image
Private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information. It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.
Albert Einstein
Image
Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
Albert Einstein
Image
In the beginning (if there was such a thing), God created Newton's laws of motion together with the necessary masses and forces. This is all everything beyond this follows from the development of appropriate mathematical methods by means of deduction.
Albert Einstein
Image
Formerly, people thought that if matter disappeared from the universe, space and time would remain. Relativity declares that space and time would disappear with matter.

Imagination is vastly more important than intelligence.

If there is no price to be paid, it is also not of value.
