Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced.

If one tries to navigate unknown waters one runs the risk of shipwreck

Fortunate Newton, happy childhood of science. Nature to him was an open book. He stands before us strong, certain, and alone.

Time and space are not conditions of existence, time and space is a model for thinking
Albert Einstein

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.
Albert Einstein

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.

Since I do not forsee that atomic energy is to be a great boon for a long time, I have to say that for the present it is a menace. Perhaps it is well that it should be. It may intimidate the human race into bringing order into its international affairs, which, without the presence of fear, it would not do.

All I want to do is learn to think like God. All the rest is just details.
Albert Einstein

Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience. You need experience to gain wisdom.
Albert Einstein
Image
Your ancestors dragged these black people from their homes by force and in the white man's quest for wealth and an easy life they have been ruthlessly suppressed and exploited, degraded into slavery. The modern prejudice against Negroes is the result of the desire to maintain this unworthy condition.

The content of scientific theory itself offers no moral foundation for the personal conduct of life.
Albert Einstein

If I were to start taking care of my grooming, I would no longer be my own self.
Albert Einstein

... on principle, it is quite wrong to try founding a theory on observable magnitudes alone. In reality the very opposite happens. It is the theory which decides what we can observe.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am a determinist. As such, I do not believe in free will...Practically, I am, nevertheless, compelled to act as if freedom of the will existed. If I wish to live in a civilized community, I must act as if man is a responsible being.

[Misquotation not by Einstein.] If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker. [Apparently remorseful for his role in the development of the atom bomb.]

Whatever there is of God and goodness in the universe, it must work itself out and express itself through us. We cannot stand aside and let God do it.
