More quotes by Albert Einstein

Image
I became more and more convinced that even nature could be understood as a relatively simple mathematical structure.
Albert Einstein
Image
The restriction of knowledge to an elite group destroys the spirit of the society and leads to its intellectual impoverishment.
Albert Einstein
Image
Nature conceals her secrets because she is sublime, not because she is a trickster.
Albert Einstein
Image
Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute.
Albert Einstein
Image
I believe that Gandhi’s views were the most enlightened of all the political men in our time. We should strive to do things in his spirit: not to use violence in fighting for our cause, but by non-participation in anything you believe is evil.
Albert Einstein
Image
We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams.
Albert Einstein
Image
I appeal to all men and women, whether they be eminent or humble, to declare that they will refuse to give any further assistance to war or the preparation of war.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is not a lack of real affection that scares me away again and again from marriage. Is it a fear of the comfortable life, of nice furniture, of dishonor that I burden myself with, or even the fear of becoming a contented bourgeois.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is enough for me to contemplate the mystery of conscious life perpetuating itself through all eternity, to reflect upon the marvelous structure of the universe which we dimly perceive, and to try humbly to comprehend an infinitesimal part of the intelligence manifested in nature.
Albert Einstein
Image
The armament industry is indeed one of the greatest dangers that beset mankind. It is the hidden evil power.
Albert Einstein
Image
Everything that exists in your life, does so because of two things: something you did or something you didn't do.
Albert Einstein
Image
That which is impenetrable to us really exists. Behind the secrets of nature remains something subtle, intangible, and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion.
Albert Einstein
Image
The Bible is a collection of honorable, but primitive legends which are still nevertheless pretty childish.
Albert Einstein
Image
I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express in words afterwards.
Albert Einstein
Image
Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
Albert Einstein
Image
I agree with Schopenhauer that one of the most powerful motives that attracts people to science and art is the longing to escape from everyday life.
Albert Einstein
Image
We have to do the best we are capable of. This is our sacred human responsibility.
Albert Einstein
Image
As a human being, one has been endowed with just enough intelligence to be able to see clearly how utterly inadequate that intelligence is when confronted with what exists.
Albert Einstein
Image
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.

Earnestly I must exert myself in order to return as much as I have received.
