Solutions to tough problems should be made as simple as possible - and no simpler.
Albert Einstein
Image
The series of integers is obviously an invention of the human mind, a self-created tool which simplifies the ordering of certain sensory experiences.
Albert Einstein
Image
I want to know the thoughts of God. Everything else is just details.
Albert Einstein
Image
How can he possibly be humble? He hasn't done anything yet.
Albert Einstein
Image
Physics is essentially an intuitive and concrete science. Mathematics is only a means for expressing the laws that govern phenomena.
Albert Einstein
Image
The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion.
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
Image
A photograph never grows old. You and I change, people change all through the months and years but a photograph always remains the same. How nice to look at a photograph of mother or father taken many years ago. You see them as you remember them. But as people live on, they change completely. That is why I think a photograph can be kind.
Albert Einstein

Your ancestors dragged these black people from their homes by force and in the white man's quest for wealth and an easy life they have been ruthlessly suppressed and exploited, degraded into slavery. The modern prejudice against Negroes is the result of the desire to maintain this unworthy condition.

True knowledge comes with deep understanding of a topic and its inner workings.
Albert Einstein
Image
Conventional words or other signs have to be sought for laboriously only in a second stage, where the associative play already referred to is sufficiently established and can be reproduced at will.
Albert Einstein
Image
A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and his feelings as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of consciousness.
Albert Einstein
Image
The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it Intuition or what you will, the solution comes to you and you don't know how or why.
Albert Einstein
Image
The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.
Albert Einstein
Image
No problem is ever solved in the same consciousness thas was used to create it.
Albert Einstein
Image
If I had my life to live over again, I would elect to be a trader of goods rather than a student of science. I think barter is a noble thing.
Albert Einstein
Image
Earth is the insane asylum of the universe.
Albert Einstein
Image
Keep on sowing your seed, for you never know which will grow - perhaps it all will.
Albert Einstein
Image
Brief is this existence, as a visit in a strange house. The path to be pursued is poorly lit by a flickering consciousness.
Albert Einstein
Image
We should be on our guard not to overestimate science and scientific methods when it is a question of human problems, and we should not assume that experts are the only ones who have the right to express themselves on questions affecting the organization of society.
