Image
Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
Albert Einstein
Image
You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. A life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein

We must recognize what in our accepted tradition is damaging to our fate and dignity-and shape our lives accordingly.
Albert Einstein
Image
The wonder of nature does not become smaller because one cannot measure it by the standards of human moral and human aims.
Albert Einstein
Image
It's no accident that capitalism has brought with it progress, not merely in production but also in knowledge. Egoism and competition are, alas, stronger forces than public spirit and sense of duty.
Albert Einstein

Racism is America's greatest disease, racism is a disease of the white man.

Time is what the clock says.
Albert Einstein

One who scorns the power of intuition will never rise above the ranks of journeyman calculator.
Albert Einstein

There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will.
Albert Einstein
