With fame I become more and more stupid, which of course is a very common phenomenon.
Albert Einstein
Image
Human beings can attain a worthy and harmonious life only if they are able to rid themselves, within the limits of human nature, of the striving for the wish fulfillment of material kinds. The goal is to raise the spiritual values of society.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is both auspicious and peaceful for people to choose vegetarinism.
Albert Einstein
Image
I'd rather be an optimist and a fool than a pessimist and right.
Albert Einstein
Image
Knowledge exists in two forms - lifeless, stored in books, and alive, in the consciousness of men. The second form of existence is after all the essential one the first, indispensable as it may be, occupies only an inferior position.

If you want the answer to anything, go sit in Nature for awhile
Albert Einstein

Non-comprehenders are often distressed. Not you, though-because with good humor you're blessed. After all, your thoughts went like this, I dare say: It was none but the Lord who made us that way.
Albert Einstein
Image
Compassionate people are geniuses in the art of living, more necessary to the dignity, security, and joy of humanity than the discoverers of knowledge.
Albert Einstein
Image
The number of natural hypothesis that can explain any given phenomena is infinite.
Albert Einstein

A problem defined, is a problem half solved.
Albert Einstein
Image
But in physics I soon learned to scent out the paths that led to the depths, and to disregard everything else, all the many things that clutter up the mind, and divert it from the essential. The hitch in this was, of course, the fact that one had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examination, whether one liked it or not.
Albert Einstein
Image
My success wasn't so much due to intelligence, but the fact that I stuck with problems longer.
Albert Einstein
Image
Never lose a holy curiosity.

Thus I came...to a deep religiosity, which, however, reached an abrupt end at the age of 12. Through the reading of popular scientific books I soon reached a conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true....Suspicion against every kind of authority grew out of this experience...an attitude which has never left me.

I was originally supposed to become an engineer but the thought of having to expend my creative energy on things that make practical everyday life even more refined, with a loathsome capital gain as the goal, was unbearable to me.
Albert Einstein

Everything you can imagine, nature has already created.
