Albert Einstein
Image
I soon learned to scent out that which was able to lead to fundamentals and to turn aside from everything else, from the multitude of things which clutter up the mind and divert it from the essential.
Albert Einstein

To my mind, to kill in war is not a whit better than to commit ordinary murder.
Albert Einstein

I think that a particle must have a separate reality independent of the measurements. That is an electron has spin, location and so forth even when it is not being measured. I like to think that the moon is there even if I am not looking at it.
Albert Einstein

Our lives will be measured by what we do for others
Albert Einstein

The leader is one who, out of the clutter, brings simplicity... out of discord, harmony... and out of difficulty, opportunity.
Albert Einstein
Image
But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people--first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy.
Albert Einstein

A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.
