More quotes by Albert Einstein
It has often been said, and certainly not without justification, that the man of science is a poor philosopher.
Albert Einstein
What is essential in the life of a man of my kind is what he thinks and how he thinks, and not what he does or suffers.
Albert Einstein
Of all the communities available to us, there is not one I would want to devote myself to except for the society of the true seekers, which has very few living members at any one time.
Albert Einstein
It may affront the military-minded person to suggest a regime that does not maintain any military secrets.
Albert Einstein
At present every coachman and every waiter argues about whether or not the relativity theory is correct.
Albert Einstein
If you cannot explain it simply, you do not understand it enough.
Albert Einstein
I am of the opinion that all the finer speculations in the realm of science spring from a deep religious feeling, and that without such feeling they would not be fruitful.
Albert Einstein
The beauty of it is that we have to content ourselves with the recognition of the miracle, beyond which there is no legitimate way out.
Albert Einstein
The world we have made is a result of the level of thinking we have done thus far.
Albert Einstein
We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.
Albert Einstein
I believe that pipe smoking contributes to a somewhat calm and objective judgement in all human affairs.
Albert Einstein
I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil. My God created laws that take care of that. His universe is not ruled by wishful thinking, but by immutable laws.
Albert Einstein
Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. ... [By seeking] logical beauty spiritual formulas are discovered necessary for the deeper penetration into the laws of nature.
Albert Einstein
I like to think the moon is there even if I am not looking at it.
Albert Einstein
Common sense is nothing more than a deposit of prejudices laid down by the mind before you reach eighteen.
Albert Einstein
Since others have explained my theory, I can no longer understand it myself.
Albert Einstein
Matter is real to my senses, but they aren't trustworthy. If Galileo or Copernicus had accepted what they saw, they would never have discovered the movement of the earth and planets.
Albert Einstein
You cannot prevent and prepare for war at the same time.
Albert Einstein
On quantum theory I use up more brain grease (rough translation of German idiom) than on relativity.
Albert Einstein
Striving for social justice is the most valuable thing to do in life.
Albert Einstein
