Image
One cannot help but be in awe when [one] contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality.
Albert Einstein
Image
Organized people are just too lazy to go looking for what they want.
Albert Einstein
Image
Education is only a ladder to gather fruit from the tree of knowledge, not the fruit itself
Albert Einstein
Image
The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this.
Albert Einstein
Image
It has become appallingly clear that our technology has surpassed our humanity. I hope that someday, our humanity might yet surpass our technology.
Albert Einstein
Image
If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare me a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German, and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.

[Asked about a book in which 100 Nazi professors charged him with scientific error.] Were I wrong, one professor would have been quite enough.
Albert Einstein
Image
In my opinion there is no other salvation for civilization and even for the human race than the creation of a world government with security on the basis of law. As long as there are sovereign states with their separate armaments and armament secrets, new world wars cannot be avoided.

Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced.

Image
The world is not full of evil because of those who do wrong. It is full of evil because of those who do nothing.
Albert Einstein
Image
[Newton wrote to Halley ... that he would not give Hooke any credit] That, alas, is vanity. You find it in so many scientists. You know, it has always hurt me to think that Galileo did not acknowledge the work of Kepler.
Albert Einstein
Image
We cannot resolve the problems of the world by unsing the same techniques that have created them.
Albert Einstein
Image
I don't teach my students, I provide the circumstances in which they can learn.
Albert Einstein
Image
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
Image
My scientific work is motivated by an irresistible longing to understand the secrets of nature not by other feelings.
Albert Einstein
Image
The most beautiful experience in the world is the experience of the mysterious.
Albert Einstein
Image
Our schoolbooks glorify war and conceal its horrors. They indoctrinate children with hatred. I would teach peace rather than war, love rather than hate.
Albert Einstein
Image
What I see in Nature is a magnificent structure that we can comprehend only very imperfectly, and that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of humility. This is a genuinely religious feeling that has nothing to do with mysticism.
Albert Einstein
Image
My internal and external life depend so much on the work of others that I must make an extreme effort to give as much as I receive.
Albert Einstein
Image
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
Albert Einstein
