How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought which is independent of experience, is so admirably appropriate to the objects of reality?
Albert Einstein

Never lose a holy curiosity.
Albert Einstein
Image
What I seek to accomplish is simply to serve with my feeble capacity truth and justice, at the risk of pleasing no one.
Albert Einstein
Image
Common sense invents and constructs no less than its own field than science does in its domain. It is, however, in the nature of common sense not to be aware of this situation.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is important for the common good to foster individuality: for only the individual can produce the new ideas which the community needs for its continuous improvement and requirements - indeed, to avoid sterility and petrification
Albert Einstein
Image
I am of the opinion that all the finer speculations in the realm of science spring from a deep religious feeling, and that without such feeling they would not be fruitful.

In the midst of difficulty lies opportunity.
Albert Einstein

An attempt at visualizing the Fourth Dimension: Take a point, stretch it into a line, curl it into a circle, twist it into a sphere, and punch through the sphere.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am not a positivist. Positivism states that what cannot be observed does not exist. This conception is scientifically indefensible, for it is impossible to make valid affirmations of what people 'can' or 'cannot' observe. One would have to say 'only what we observe exists,' which is obviously false.

The more I learn of physics, the more I am drawn to metaphysics.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is my belief that the problem of bringing peace to the world on a supranational basis will be solved only by employing Gandhi's method on a larger scale.
Albert Einstein
Image
The words of language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my mechanism of thought. The physical entities which seem to serve as elements in thought are certain signs and more or less clear images.
Albert Einstein
Image
Relativity teaches us the connection between the different descriptions of one and the same reality.
Albert Einstein

The wonder of nature does not become smaller because one cannot measure it by the standards of human moral and human aims.
