More quotes by Albert Einstein

Image
I am strongly drawn to the simple life and am often oppressed by the feeling that I am engrossing an unnecessary amount of the labour of my fellow men. I regard class differences as contrary to justice and, in the last resort, based on force. I also consider that plain living is good for everybody, physically and mentally.

I want to know all Gods thoughts all the rest are just details.
Albert Einstein

Culture in its higher forms is a delicate plant which depends on a complicated set of conditions and is wont to flourish only in a few places at any given time.
Albert Einstein
Image
Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem to characterize our age. If we desire sincerely and passionately the safety, the welfare and the free development of the talents of all men, we shall not be in want of the means to approach such a state.
Albert Einstein
Image
Without the sense of fellowship with men of like mind, of preoccupation with the objective, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific research, life would have seemed to me empty.
Albert Einstein

I am not more gifted than anybody else. I am just more curious than the average person and I will not give up a problem until I have found the proper solution.

When the nazis came to power, I looked to the universities that prided themselves upon their intellectual freedom, and they failed me. I looked to the German press, which prided itself on the freedom of the press, and it failed me. Until at last the churches stood alone, and that for which I once had little regard earned my respect.

Don't be too hard on me. Everyone has to sacrifice at the altar of stupidity from time to time.
Albert Einstein
Image
The physicists say that I am a mathematician, and the mathematicians say that I am a physicist. I am a completely isolated man and though everybody knows me, there are very few people who really know me.

E=mc2. Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared
Albert Einstein

Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.
Albert Einstein

My position concerning God is that of an agnostic. I am convinced that a vivid consciousness of the primary importance of moral principles for the betterment and ennoblement of life does not need the idea of a law-giver, especially a law-giver who works on the basis of reward and punishment.

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

The splitting of the atom has changed everything except for how we think.

A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of others.

Nothing in the world makes people so afraid as the influence of independent-minded people.
Albert Einstein

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

I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion.

The most evident difference springs from the important part which is played in man by a relatively strong power of imagination and by the capacity to think, aided as it is by language and other symbolically devices.
