More quotes by Albert Einstein
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
I know very well that many scientists consider dowsing as they do astrology, as a type of ancient superstition. According to my conviction this is, unjustified. The dowsing rod is a simple instrument which shows the uncanny reaction of the human nervous system to certain factors which are unknown to us at this time.
Albert Einstein
No path leads from a knowledge of that which is to that which should be.
Albert Einstein
[When asked Dr. Einstein, why is it that when the mind of man has stretched so far as to discover the structure of the atom we have been unable to devise the political means to keep the atom from destroying us?] That is simple, my friend. It is because politics is more difficult than physics.
Albert Einstein
The only sure way to avoid making mistakes is to have no new ideas.
Albert Einstein
Do you really believe that the moon isn’t there when nobody looks?
Albert Einstein
Man usually avoids attributing cleverness to somebody else unless it is an enemy.
Albert Einstein
Man can find meaning in life only through devoting himself to society.
Albert Einstein
If I had it [life] to do all over again, I'd have been a plumber.
Albert Einstein
What a sad era when it is easier to smash an atom than a prejudice.
Albert Einstein
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
The bigotry of the nonbeliever is for me nearly as funny as the bigotry of the believer.
Albert Einstein
People should be more like animals . . . they should be more intuitive they should not be too conscious of what they do while they do it.
Albert Einstein
But the creative principle resides in mathematics. In a certain sense, therefore, I hold true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed.
Albert Einstein
How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will.
Albert Einstein
My scientific work is motivated by an irresistible longing to understand the secrets of nature not by other feelings.
Albert Einstein
If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.
Albert Einstein
The greater the doubt, the greater the awakening
Albert Einstein
Mathematics are well and good but Nature keeps dragging us around by the nose.
Albert Einstein
But love brings much happiness - much more so than pining brings pain.
Albert Einstein
