...Intelligence and character of the masses are incomparably lower than the intelligence and character of the few who produce something valuable for the community.
Albert Einstein
Image
[Max Planck] was one of the finest people I have ever known... but he really didn't understand physics, [because] during the eclipse of 1919 he stayed up all night to see if it would confirm the bending of light by the gravitational field.

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.

Scientific research is based on the idea that everything that takes place is determined by laws of Nature, and therefore this holds for the action of people. For this reason, a research scientist will hardly be inclined to believe that events could be influenced by a prayer, i.e. by a wish addressed to a Supernatural Being.

One must not attempt to justify them, but rather to sense their nature simply and clearly.
Albert Einstein
Image
I do not much believe in education. Each person ought to be his or her own model, however frightful that may be.
Albert Einstein
Image
Every one who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe-a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble.
Albert Einstein

Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn

Conceptions without experience are void experience without conceptions is blind.
