More quotes by Albert Einstein
Concepts which have proved useful for ordering things easily assume so great an authority over us, that we forget their terrestrial origin and accept them as unalterable facts. They then become labeled as 'conceptual necessities,' etc. The road of scientific progress is frequently blocked for long periods by such errors.
Albert Einstein
I hate crowds and making speeches. I hate facing cameras and having to answer to a crossfire of questions. Why popular fancy should seize upon me, a scientist, dealing in abstract things and happy if left alone, is a manifestation of mass psychology that is beyond me.
Albert Einstein
You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.
Albert Einstein
Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted in important affairs.
Albert Einstein
A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and his feelings as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of consciousness.
Albert Einstein
Happiness, as a pursuit, is suitable only for pigs.
Albert Einstein
Every age has its beautiful moments.
Albert Einstein
A theory can be proved by experiment but no path leads from experiment to the birth of a theory.
Albert Einstein
Most mistakes in philosophy and logic occur because the human mind is apt to take the symbol for the reality.
Albert Einstein
My scientific work is motivated by an irresistible longing to understand the secrets of nature and by no other feeling. My love for justice and striving to contribute towards the improvement of human conditions are quite independent from my scientific interests.
Albert Einstein
Each possession I own is but a stone around my neck.
Albert Einstein
Scientists believe that every occurrence, including the affairs of human beings, is due to the laws of nature. Therefore a scientist cannot be inclined to believe that the course of events can be influenced by prayer, that is, by a supernaturally manifested wish.
Albert Einstein
So would a Being, endowed with higher insight and more perfect intelligence, watching man and his doings, smile about man's illusion that he was acting according to his own free will.
Albert Einstein
When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, it seems like two minutes when you sit on a hot stove for two minutes, it seems like two hours. That's relativity.
Albert Einstein
School failed me, and I failed the school. It bored me. The teachers behaved like Feldwebel (sergeants). I wanted to learn what I wanted to know, but they wanted me to learn for the exam. What I hated most was the competitive system there, and especially sports. Because of this, I wasn't worth anything, and several times they suggested I leave.
Albert Einstein
I wish to do something Great and Wonderful, but I must start by doing the little things like they were Great and Wonderful
Albert Einstein
If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.
Albert Einstein
A successful man is he who receives a great deal from his fellow men, usually incomparably more than corresponds to his service to them. The value of a man, however, should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.
Albert Einstein
Be a voice not an echo.
Albert Einstein
To have a better life we must keep choosing how we are living.
