More quotes by Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
I was supposed to choose apractical profession, but this was simply unbearable to me.
Albert Einstein
I should much rather see a reasonable agreement with Arabs based upon living together than the creation of a Jewish state.
Albert Einstein
Scientists believe that every occurrence, including the affairs of human beings, is due to the laws of nature. Therefore a scientist cannot be inclined to believe that the course of events can be influenced by prayer, that is, by a supernaturally manifested wish.
Albert Einstein
Human knowledge and skills alone cannot lead humanity to a happy and dignified life. Humanity has every reason to place the proclaimers of high moral standards and values above the discoverers of objective truth.
Albert Einstein
The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein
So would a Being, endowed with higher insight and more perfect intelligence, watching man and his doings, smile about man's illusion that he was acting according to his own free will.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
Let me tell you what I look like: pale face, long hair, and a tiny start of a paunch. In addition, an awkward gait, and a cigar in the mouth and a pen in pocket or hand.
Albert Einstein
The discovery of nuclear reactions need not bring about the destruction of mankind any more than the discovery of matches.
Albert Einstein
Well-being and happiness never appeared to me as an absolute aim. I am even inclined to compare such moral aims to the ambitions of a pig.
Albert Einstein
We must not only learn to tolerate our differences. We must welcome them as the richness and diversity which can lead to true intelligence.
Albert Einstein
The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.
Albert Einstein
A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.
Albert Einstein
It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure.
Albert Einstein
Analytics will never tell you everything you want to know.
Albert Einstein
When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second.
Albert Einstein
