More quotes by Albert Einstein
If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shoddy philosophies.
Albert Einstein
Compound interest is the eighth natural wonder of the world and the most powerful thing I have ever encountered.
Albert Einstein
I do know that kind fate allowed me to find a couple of nice ideas after many years of feverish labor.
Albert Einstein
It is high time the ideal of success should be replaced with the ideal of service.
Albert Einstein
My only refuge, as a serious young man, from the despair of my financial burden to my family, is that I did everything I could to never permit myself any amusements or diversions except those afforded by my studies.
Albert Einstein
The greater the doubt, the greater the awakening
Albert Einstein
The individual who has experienced solitude will not easily become a victim of mass suggestion.
Albert Einstein
You must be aware that most men (and also not only a few women) are by nature not monogamous. This nature makes itself even more forceful when tradition and circumstance stand in an individual's way.
Albert Einstein
Human knowledge and skills alone cannot lead humanity to a happy and dignified life. Humanity has every reason to place the proclaimers of high moral standards and values above the discoverers of objective truth.
Albert Einstein
Mathematics are well and good but Nature keeps dragging us around by the nose.
Albert Einstein
I see only with deep regret that God punishes so many of His children for their numerous stupidities, for which only He Himself can be held responsible in my opinion, only His nonexistence could excuse Him.
Albert Einstein
The more a man is imbued with the ordered regularity of all events the firmer becomes his conviction that there is no room left by the side of this ordered regularity for causes of a different nature. For him neither the rule of human nor the rule of divine will exist as an independent cause of natural events.
Albert Einstein
External conditions can, to a certain extent, reduce, but never cancel individual repsonsibility.
Albert Einstein
Striving for peace and preparing for war are incompatible with each other, and in our time more so than ever.
Albert Einstein
Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.
Albert Einstein
I am not more gifted than anybody else. I am just more curious than the average person and I will not give up a problem until I have found the proper solution.
Albert Einstein
I never failed in mathematics. Before I was fifteen I had mastered differential and integral calculus.
Albert Einstein
... on principle, it is quite wrong to try founding a theory on observable magnitudes alone. In reality the very opposite happens. It is the theory which decides what we can observe.
Albert Einstein
If someone feels that he has never made a mistake in his life, it only means that he has never tried anything new in his life.
Albert Einstein
Men should continue to fight, but they should fight for things worth while, not for imaginary geographical lines, racial prejudices and private greed draped in the color's of patriotism.
Albert Einstein
