More quotes by Albert Einstein
Every serious scientific worker is painfully conscious of this involuntary relegation to an ever-narrowing sphere of knowledge, which threatens to deprive the investigator of his broad horizon and degrades him to the level of a mechanic.
Albert Einstein
One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike -- and yet it is the most precious thing we have.
Albert Einstein
We are part of the whole which we call the universe, but it is an optical delusion of our mind that we think we are separate. This separateness is like a prison for us. Our job is to widen the circle of our compassion so we feel connected with all people and situations.
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
One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.
Albert Einstein
In their struggle for the ethical good, teachers of religion must have the stature to give up the doctrine of a personal god.
Albert Einstein
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.
Albert Einstein
The Devil craps on the big pile
Albert Einstein
Why is it that no one understands me and everybody likes me
Albert Einstein
Mere praise of peace is easy and ineffective. What is needed is acitve participation in the fight against war and everything which leads to it.
Albert Einstein
I take it to be true that pure thought can grasp the real, as the ancients had dreamed.
Albert Einstein
A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.
Albert Einstein
Who would have thought around 1900 that in fifty years time we would know so much more and understand so much less.
Albert Einstein
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms.
Albert Einstein
No one does anything right in life, until they realize that they are making a mistake
Albert Einstein
Whoever is devoid of the capacity to wonder, whoever remains unmoved, whoever cannot contemplate or know the deep shudder of the soul in enchantment, might just as well be dead for he has already closed his eyes upon life.
Albert Einstein
Three great forces rule the world: stupidity, fear and greed.
Albert Einstein
In a healthy nation there is a kind of dramatic balance between the will of the people and the government, which prevents its degeneration into tyranny.
Albert Einstein
The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein
What physics looks for: The simplest possible system of thought which will bind together the observed facts.
Albert Einstein
