Mere unbelief in a personal God is no philosophy at all.
Albert Einstein

It is difficult even to attach a precise meaning to the term scientific truth. So different is the meaning of the word truth according to whether we are dealing with a fact of experience, a mathematical proposition or a scientific theory. Religious truth conveys nothing clear to me at all.
Albert Einstein

...and knowledge is one of the finest attributes of man - though often it is most loudly voiced by those who strive for it the least.
Albert Einstein

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
