More quotes by Albert Einstein
I was sitting in a chair in the patent office at Bern when all of a sudden a thought occurred to me: If a person falls freely he will not feel his own weight. I was startled. This simple thought made a deep impression on me. It impelled me toward a theory of gravitation.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
Of what significance is one's existence, one is basically unaware. What does a fish know about the water in which he swims all his life? The bitter and the sweet come from outside. The hard from within, from one's own efforts. For the most part I do what my own nature drives me to do. It is embarrassing to earn such respect and love for it.
Albert Einstein
Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.
Albert Einstein
Never underestimate your own ignorance.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
No one must think that Newton’s great creation can be overthrown in any real sense by this [Theory of Relativity] or by any other theory. His clear and wide ideas will for ever retain their significance as the foundation on which our modern conceptions of physics have been built.
Albert Einstein
With me every peep becomes a trumpet solo.
Albert Einstein
I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion.
Albert Einstein
Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it.
Albert Einstein
Marie Curie is, of all celebrated beings, the only one whom fame has not corrupted.
Albert Einstein
The idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I am unable to take seriously.
Albert Einstein
The American lives even more for his goals, for the future, than the European. Life for him is always becoming, never being.
Albert Einstein
