More quotes by Albert Einstein
Formerly, people thought that if matter disappeared from the universe, space and time would remain. Relativity declares that space and time would disappear with matter.
Albert Einstein
I do not believe that a moral philosophy can ever be founded on a scientific basis. … The valuation of life and all its nobler expressions can only come out of the soul’s yearning toward its own destiny. Every attempt to reduce ethics to scientific formulas must fail. Of that I am perfectly convinced.
Albert Einstein
When I'm judging a theory, I ask myself whether, if I were God, I would have arranged the world in such a way.
Albert Einstein
Earth is the insane asylum of the universe.
Albert Einstein
No idea is conceived in our mind independent of our five senses [i.e., no idea is divinely inspired].
Albert Einstein
I came to America because of the great, great freedom which I heard existed in this country. I made a mistake in selecting America as a land of freedom, a mistake I cannot repair in the balance of my lifetime.
Albert Einstein
History is littered with examples of men who would become gods, but only one example of God becoming Man.
Albert Einstein
Though our conduct seems so very different from that of the higher animals, the primary instincts are much alike in them and in us.
Albert Einstein
There exists a passion for comprehension, just as there exists a passion for music. That passion is rather common in children, but gets lost in most people later on. Without this passion there would be neither mathematics nor natural science.
Albert Einstein
I cannot then believe in this concept of an anthropomorphic God who has the powers of interfering with these natural laws. As I said before, the most beautiful and most profound religious emotion that we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. And this mysticality is the power of all true science.
Albert Einstein
It is my conviction that pure mathematical construction enables us to discover the concepts and the laws connecting them, which gives us the key to the understanding of nature ... In a certain sense, therefore, I hold it true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed.
Albert Einstein
Student is not a container you have to fill but a torch you have to light up.
Albert Einstein
Creativity is contagious. Pass it on.
Albert Einstein
Work is the only thing that gives substance to life.
Albert Einstein
There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will.
Albert Einstein
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
Albert Einstein
If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or objects.
Albert Einstein
One reason why mathematics enjoys special esteem,above all other sciences,is that its laws are absolutely certain and indisputable,while those of all other sciences are to some extent debatable and in constant danger of being overthrown by newly discovered facts.
Albert Einstein
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
One scientific epoch ended and another began with James Clerk Maxwell.
Albert Einstein
