More quotes by Albert Einstein
Each of us is here for a brief sojourn for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.
Albert Einstein
People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
Albert Einstein
Yes, we now have to divide up our time like that, between politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever.
Albert Einstein
The world as we see it is only the world as we see it. Others may see it differently.
Albert Einstein
When the Special Theory of Relativity began to germinate in me, I was visited by all sorts of nervous conflicts... I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion.
Albert Einstein
Insofar as mathematics is true, it does not describe the real world. Insofar as it describes the real world, it is not true.
Albert Einstein
The history of scientific and technical discovery teaches us that the human race is poor in independent and creative imagination.
Albert Einstein
The definition of genius is taking the complex and making it simple.
Albert Einstein
The development of general ability for independent thinking and judgment should always be placed foremost, not the acquisition of special knowledge.
Albert Einstein
For the most part, I do the thing which my own nature prompts me to do. It is embarrassing to earn so much respect and love for it.
Albert Einstein
Stupidity is a personal achievement which transcends national boundaries.
Albert Einstein
Mathematics deals exclusively with the relations of concepts to each other without consideration of their relation to experience.
Albert Einstein
The step between genius and insanity is very short.
Albert Einstein
He who has never been deceived by a lie does not know the meaning of bliss.
Albert Einstein
Marvellous, what ideas the young people have these days. But I don't believe a word of it.
Albert Einstein
I have tried 99 times and have failed, but on the 100th time came success.
Albert Einstein
Have the courage to take your own thoughts seriously, for they will shape you.
Albert Einstein
Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as hard duty. Never regard study as duty but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.
Albert Einstein
If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.
Albert Einstein
Only a very dull man spells a word the same way twice.
Albert Einstein
