Image
When I was still a rather precocious young man, I already realized most vividly the futility of the hopes and aspirations that most men pursue throughout their lives.
Albert Einstein
Image
Ever since childhood I have scorned the commonplace limits so often set upon human ambition. Possessions, outward success, publicity, luxury - to me these have always been contemptible. I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone best both for the body and the mind
Albert Einstein
Image
I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being.
Albert Einstein
Image
The difference between what the most and the least learned people know is inexpressibly trivial in relation to that which is unknown.
Albert Einstein
Image
Live your life... as though everything is a miracle.
Albert Einstein
Image
One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.
Albert Einstein
Image
We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life. All that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.
Albert Einstein
Image
What is essential in the life of a man of my kind is what he thinks and how he thinks, and not what he does or suffers.
Albert Einstein
Image
You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war. The very prevention of war requires more faith, courage and resolution than are needed to prepare for war. We must all do our share, that we may be equal to the task of peace.
Albert Einstein
Image
Work is the only thing that gives substance to life.
Albert Einstein
Image
Hell! there ain't no rules around here! We are tryin' to accomplish somep'n!
Albert Einstein
Image
The genius is in making the complex simple.
Albert Einstein
Image
The bigotry of the nonbeliever is for me nearly as funny as the bigotry of the believer.
Albert Einstein
Image
A thousand things can prove me right and one can prove me wrong.
Albert Einstein
Image
I see in Nature a magnificent structure... that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of humility.
Albert Einstein
Image
In music I do not look for logic. I am quite intuitive on the whole and know no theories. I never like a work if I cannot intuitively grasp its inner unity (architecture).
Albert Einstein
Image
Logic can take you from point A to point B. Imagination can take you wherever you want
Albert Einstein
Image
There is only one road to human greatness: through the school of hard knocks.
Albert Einstein
Image
I cannot seriously believe in it [quantum theory] because the theory cannot be reconciled with the idea that physics should represent a reality in time and space, free from spooky actions at a distance [spukhafte Fernwirkungen].
Albert Einstein

In the midst of every crisis, lies great opportunity.
