Mathematics deals exclusively with the relations of concepts to each other without consideration of their relation to experience.
Albert Einstein
Image
A man's ethical behaviour should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
Albert Einstein
Image
The idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I am unable to take seriously.
Albert Einstein
Image
I would absolutely refuse any direct or indirect war service and would try to persuade my friends to do the same, regardless of the reasons for the cause of a war.
Albert Einstein
Image
Isn't it strange that I who have written only unpopular books should be such a popular fellow?
Albert Einstein
Image
One does not make wars less likely by formulationg rules of warfare... war cannot be humanized. It can only be eliminated.
Albert Einstein

By academic freedom I understand the right to search for truth and to publish and teach what one holds to be true. This right also implies a duty: one must not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is characteristic of the military mentality that non-human factors ... are held essential, while the human being, his desires and thoughts-in short, the psychological factors-are considered as unimportant and secondary.
Albert Einstein
Image
When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous
Albert Einstein
Image
God casts the die, not the dice.
Albert Einstein
Image
The word 'God' is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, and religious scripture a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can (for me) change this.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am truly a lone traveler and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart.
Albert Einstein
Image
Success comes from curiosity, concentration, perseverance and self criticism.
Albert Einstein
Image
A country cannot simultaneously prepare and prevent war. I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. The distinctions separating the social classes are false in the last analysis they rest on force.
Albert Einstein
Image
One should never impose one's views on a problem one should rather study it, and in time a solution will reveal itself.
Albert Einstein

Who would have thought around 1900 that in fifty years time we would know so much more and understand so much less.
