More quotes by Albert Einstein
An autocratic system of coercion, in my opinion, soon degenerates. For force always attracts men of low morality, and I believe it to be an invariable rule that tyrants of genius are succeeded by scoundrels. For this reason I have always been passionately opposed to systems such as we see in Italy and Russia to-day.
Albert Einstein
A human being is part of a whole called by us the universe.
Albert Einstein
Intelligence is not the ability to store information, but to know where to find it.
Albert Einstein
If the bees disappear, man would have only four years of life left.
Albert Einstein
If I can't picture it, I can't understand it.
Albert Einstein
Though our conduct seems so very different from that of the higher animals, the primary instincts are much alike in them and in us.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.
Albert Einstein
I am truly a lone traveler and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart.
Albert Einstein
In science, moreover, the work of the individual is so bound up with that of his scientific predecessors and contemporaries that it appears almost as an impersonal product of his generation.
Albert Einstein
In the middle of difficulties lie opportunities.
Albert Einstein
When I was young I found out that the big toe always ends up making a hole in a sock. So I stopped wearing socks.
Albert Einstein
Either CS (coordinate system) could be used with equal justification. The two sentences: the sun is at rest and the earth moves, or the sun moves and the earth is at rest, would simply mean two different conventions concerning two different CS
Albert Einstein
Why do people speak of great men in terms of nationality? Great Germans, great Englishmen? Goethe always protested against being called a German poet. Great men are simply men and are not to be considered from the point of view of nationality, nor should the environment in which they were brought up be taken into account.
Albert Einstein
I have yet to figure out whether it is I am that am crazy, or the world.
Albert Einstein
Nothing happens until something moves. When something vibrates, the electrons of the entire universe resonate with it. Everything is connected.
Albert Einstein
We must remember that we do not observe nature as it actually exists, but nature exposed to our methods of perception. The theories determine what we can or cannot observe...Reality is an illusion, albeit a persistent one.
Albert Einstein
When a man points a finger at someone else, he should remember that three of his fingers are pointing at himself. Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics I can assure you that mine are still greater.
Albert Einstein
The most important question a person can ask is, Is the Universe a friendly place?
Albert Einstein
