The leaves and the light are one.
Albert Einstein
Image
Then there are the fanatical atheists whose intolerance is of the same kind as the intolerance of the religious fanatics and comes from the same source.
Albert Einstein
Image
In science, moreover, the work of the individual is so bound up with that of his scientific predecessors and contemporaries that it appears almost as an impersonal product of his generation.
Albert Einstein
Image
The scientist is activated by a wonder and awe before the mysterious comprehensibility of the universe which is yet finally beyond his grasp. In its profoundest depths it is inaccessible to man.
Albert Einstein
Image
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
Albert Einstein

If the rabble continues to occupy itself with you, then simply don't read that hogwash, but rather leave it for the reptile from whom it has been fabricated.
Albert Einstein

But in physics I soon learned to scent out the paths that led to the depths, and to disregard everything else, all the many things that clutter up the mind, and divert it from the essential. The hitch in this was, of course, the fact that one had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examination, whether one liked it or not.
Albert Einstein

You can't use an old map to explore a new world.
Albert Einstein
Image
I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being.
Albert Einstein
Image
Why do people speak of great men in terms of nationality? Great Germans, great Englishmen? Goethe always protested against being called a German poet. Great men are simply men and are not to be considered from the point of view of nationality, nor should the environment in which they were brought up be taken into account.
Albert Einstein

A brave man, whose only fault was being a woman.
Albert Einstein
Image
Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.
Albert Einstein
Image
There is a driving force more powerful than steam, electricity and nuclear power: the will.
Albert Einstein
Image
The only way to escape the corruptible effect of praise is to go on working.
Albert Einstein

The woman who follows the crowd will usually believe that I said this.
Albert Einstein

Communities tend to be guided less than individuals by conscience and a sense of responsibility. How much misery does this fact cause mankind! It is the source of wars and every kind of oppression, which fill the earth with pain, sighs and bitterness.
Albert Einstein
