Don't wait for miracles, your whole life is a miracle.
Albert Einstein
Image
As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it.
Albert Einstein
Image
The sole function of education...[is] to open the way to thinking and knowing, and the school, as the outstanding organ for the people's education, must serve that end exclusively.
Albert Einstein

Qualities I sought in a scientific theory were naturalness, inner perfection and logical simplicity from an aesthetic approach.
Albert Einstein
Image
The comprehensibility of the world seems to me a wonder or eternal secret. Here lies the sense of wonder which increases even more with the development of our knowledge.
Albert Einstein
Image
There is a driving force more powerful than steam, electricity and nuclear power: the will.

Only a monomaniac gets anything done.
Albert Einstein
Image
The individual feels the vanity of human desires and aims, and the nobility and marvelous order which are revealed in nature and in the world of thought. He feels the individual destiny as an imprisonment and seeks to experience the totality of existence as a unity full of significance.
Albert Einstein
Image
The only source of knowledge is experience.
Albert Einstein
Image
Do you believe in miracles? Well, you should. In fact, life itself is a big miracle. There are so many things that are beyond our understanding. There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle you can live as if everything is a miracle.
Albert Einstein

Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.

Failure is success in progress

I like the Swiss because by and large they are more humane than the other people aming whom I have lived.
Albert Einstein
Image
For every one billion particles of antimatter there were one billion and one particles of matter. And when the mutual annihilation was complete, one billionth remained - and that's our present universe.

Fortunate Newton, happy childhood of science. Nature to him was an open book. He stands before us strong, certain, and alone.
