More quotes by Albert Einstein
But their intervention makes our acts to serve ever less merely the immediate claims of our instincts.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
The theory must not contradict empirical facts.
Albert Einstein
All my life I have dealt with objective matters hence I lack both the natural aptitude and the experience to deal properly with people and to carry out official functions.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
What a sad era when it is easier to smash an atom than a prejudice.
Albert Einstein
The only justifiable purpose of political institutions is to ensure the unhindered development of the individual.
Albert Einstein
Genius simply cannot be reduced to a set of rules for anyone to follow.
Albert Einstein
There is one ray of hope. It seems to me that today the responsible leaders of the several peoples have, in the main, the honest will to abolish war.
Albert Einstein
If a theory can not be explained to a child, then the theory is probably worthless.
Albert Einstein
Thinking is hard work that's why so few do it.
Albert Einstein
What is significant in one's own existence one is hardly aware, and it certainly should not bother the other fellow. What does a fish know about the water in which he swims all his life?
Albert Einstein
