More quotes by Albert Einstein
But the creative principle resides in mathematics. In a certain sense, therefore, I hold true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed.
Albert Einstein
You can never solve a problem with the same kind of thinking that created the problem in the first place.
Albert Einstein
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
The question that drives me hazy is whether it is I or others who is crazy.
Albert Einstein
...the physicist cannot simply surrender to the philosopher the critical contemplation of the theoretical foundations for, he himself knows best, and feels more surely where the shoe pinches...Physical conceptions are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world.
Albert Einstein
I know that philosophically a murderer is not responsible for his crime, but I prefer not to take tea with him.
Albert Einstein
I'm more interested in the future than in the past, because the future is where I intend to live.
Albert Einstein
Anybody who really wants to abolish war must resolutely declare himself in favor of his own country's resigning a portion of sovereignty in place of international institutions.
Albert Einstein
Every age has its beautiful moments.
Albert Einstein
Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.
Albert Einstein
So I am living without fats, without meat, without fish, but am feeling quite well this way. It always seems to me that man was not born to be a carnivore.
Albert Einstein
God has given me a mule-like stubbornness to stick with a difficult problem and the intuitive powers to conceptualize complex hypothetical situations in my mind.
Albert Einstein
Applying the axioms of physical science to human life has something reprehensible to it.
Albert Einstein
...Intelligence and character of the masses are incomparably lower than the intelligence and character of the few who produce something valuable for the community.
Albert Einstein
One strength of the communist system of the East is that it has some of the character of a religion and inspires the emotions of a religion.
Albert Einstein
[I] must seek in the stars that which was denied [to me] on earth.
Albert Einstein
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So is a lot.
Albert Einstein
A conflict arises when a religious community insists on the absolute truthfulness of all statements recorded in the Bible. This means an intervention on the part of religion into the sphere of science this is where the struggle of the Church against doctrines of Galileo and Darwin belongs.
Albert Einstein
The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man.
Albert Einstein
It's no accident that capitalism has brought with it progress, not merely in production but also in knowledge. Egoism and competition are, alas, stronger forces than public spirit and sense of duty.
Albert Einstein
