Measured objectively, what a man can wrest from Truth by passionate striving is utterly infinitesimal. But the striving frees us from the bonds of the self and makes us comrades of those who are the best and the greatest.

More quotes by Albert Einstein
It is quite clear to me that the religious paradise of youth, which [I] lost, was a first attempt to free myself from the chains of the 'merely personal,' from an existence which is dominated by wishes, hopes, and primitive feelings.
Albert Einstein
The most evident difference springs from the important part which is played in man by a relatively strong power of imagination and by the capacity to think, aided as it is by language and other symbolically devices.
Albert Einstein
Try not to become a man of success, but a man of value. Look around at how people want to get more out of life than they put in. A man of value will give more than he receives. Be creative, but make sure that what you create is not a curse for mankind.
Albert Einstein
I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express in words afterwards.
Albert Einstein
It is best, it seems to me, to separate one's inner striving from one's trade as far as possible. It is not good when one's daily break is tied to God's special blessing.
Albert Einstein
Imagination is the most powerful force in the universe.
Albert Einstein
If I were wrong, wouldn't one be enough?
Albert Einstein
The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which he has attained liberation from the self.
Albert Einstein
My scientific work is motivated by an irresistible longing to understand the secrets of nature not by other feelings.
Albert Einstein
... one does people the best service by giving them some elevating work to do and thus indirectly elevating them.
Albert Einstein
Genius is 1% talent and 99% percent hard work.
Albert Einstein
Scientists were rated as great heretics by the church, but they were truly religious men because of their faith in the orderliness of the universe.
Albert Einstein
To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is a something that our mind cannot grasp and whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly and as a feeble reflection, this is religiousness. In this sense I am religious.
Albert Einstein
Compassionate people are geniuses in the art of living, more necessary to the dignity, security, and joy of humanity than the discoverers of knowledge.
Albert Einstein
How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will.
Albert Einstein
I do not much believe in education. Each person ought to be his or her own model, however frightful that may be.
Albert Einstein
I have become rather like King Midas, except that everything turns not into gold but into a circus.
Albert Einstein
The ways of creation are wrapt in mystery. We may only marvel, and bow our head.
Albert Einstein
One always likes to do the things for which one has ability.
Albert Einstein
Raffiniert ist der Herr Gott, aber boshaft ist er nicht. God is subtle, but he is not malicious.
Albert Einstein
