More quotes by Albert Einstein
When the Special Theory of Relativity began to germinate in me, I was visited by all sorts of nervous conflicts... I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion.
Albert Einstein
With me every peep becomes a trumpet solo.
Albert Einstein
The pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, an almost fanatical love of justice and the desire for personal independence -- these are the features of the Jewish tradition which make me thank my stars that I belong to it.
Albert Einstein
Compound interest on debt was the banker's greatest invention, to capture, and enslave, a productive society.

Albert Einstein
Concern for man himself and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors, concern for the great unsolved problems of the organization of labor and the distribution of goods-in order that the creations of our mind shall be a blessing and not a curse to mankind. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations.
Albert Einstein
Relativity teaches us the connection between the different descriptions of one and the same reality.
Albert Einstein
Common sense invents and constructs no less than its own field than science does in its domain. It is, however, in the nature of common sense not to be aware of this situation.
Albert Einstein
Let me tell you what I look like: pale face, long hair, and a tiny start of a paunch. In addition, an awkward gait, and a cigar in the mouth and a pen in pocket or hand.
Albert Einstein
Do you remember how electrical currents and 'unseen waves' were laughed at? The knowledge about man is still in its infancy.
Albert Einstein
I have deep faith that the principle of the universe will be beautiful and simple
Albert Einstein
Imagination is the most powerful force in the universe.
Albert Einstein
Mere thinking cannot reveal to us the highest purpose.
Albert Einstein
In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.
Albert Einstein
Education is only a ladder to gather fruit from the tree of knowledge, not the fruit itself
Albert Einstein
It is my fate to be considered an authority, since I spent my youth rebelling against it.
Albert Einstein
