Quote

Science has gone a long way toward helping man to free himself from the burden of hard labor yet, science itself is not a liberator. It creates means, not goals. It is up to men to utilize those means to achieve reasonable goals.

You teach me baseball and I'll teach you relativity...No we must not. You will learn about relativity faster than I learn baseball.
Albert Einstein
Image
One must console oneself with the thought that time has a sieve through which most of these important things run into the ocean of oblivion and what remains after this selection is often still trite and bad.
Albert Einstein
Image
Most people see what is, and never see what can be.
Albert Einstein
Image
... we will hope that future historians will explain the morbid symptoms of present-day society as the childhood ailments of an aspiring humanity, due entirely to the excessive speed at which civilization was advancing.
Albert Einstein

Innovation is everyones responsibility, not just R&Ds.
Albert Einstein
Image
Time is just something we invented to make motion seem simple.
Albert Einstein
Image
I see a pattern, but my imagination cannot picture the maker of that pattern. I see a clock, but I cannot envision the clockmaker. The human mind is unable to conceive of the four dimensions, so how can it conceive of a God, before whom a thousand years and a thousand dimensions are as one?
Albert Einstein

How was I able to live alone before, my little everything? Without you I lack self-confidence, passion for work, and enjoyment of life--in short, without you, my life is no life. [Written to his wife, Mileva]

Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.
Albert Einstein
Image
I must be willing to give up what I am in order to become what I will be.
Albert Einstein
Image
All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom.
Albert Einstein
Image
If we have the courage to decide ourselves for peace we will have peace.
Albert Einstein
Image
You are the only person I know who has the same attitude towards physics as I have: belief in the comprehension of reality through something basically simple and unified... It seems hard to sneak a look at God's cards. But that He plays dice and uses 'telepathic' methods... is something that I cannot believe for a single moment.
Albert Einstein

The high destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule.
Albert Einstein

I believe in standardizing automobiles, not human beings.
Albert Einstein
Image
School failed me, and I failed the school. It bored me. The teachers behaved like Feldwebel (sergeants). I wanted to learn what I wanted to know, but they wanted me to learn for the exam. What I hated most was the competitive system there, and especially sports. Because of this, I wasn't worth anything, and several times they suggested I leave.

Fortunate Newton, happy childhood of science. Nature to him was an open book. He stands before us strong, certain, and alone.
Albert Einstein
Image
I'm not an atheist. I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books.

[Freud's] sense of reality is less clouded by wishful thinking than is the case with other people and [he combines] the qualities of critical judgment, earnestness and responsibility.
Albert Einstein
Image
Concern for man himself and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors, concern for the great unsolved problems of the organization of labor and the distribution of goods-in order that the creations of our mind shall be a blessing and not a curse to mankind. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations.
Albert Einstein
