More quotes by Albert Einstein
Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.
Albert Einstein
You cannot solve current problems with current thinking. Current problems are the result of current thinking.
Albert Einstein
Yes, we now have to divide up our time like that, between politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever.
Albert Einstein
I cannot conceive of a personal God who would directly influence the actions of individuals, or would directly sit in judgment on creatures of his own creation.
Albert Einstein
The more a country makes military weapons, the more insecure it becomes: if you have weapons, you become a target for attack.
Albert Einstein
The content of scientific theory itself offers no moral foundation for the personal conduct of life.
Albert Einstein
In any conflict between humanity and technology, humanity will win.
Albert Einstein
The world we have created is a product of our thinking.
Albert Einstein
Nobody knows how the stand of our knowledge about the atom would be without him. Personally, [Niels] Bohr is one of the amiable colleagues I have met. He utters his opinions like one perpetually groping and never like one who believes himself to be in possession of the truth.
Albert Einstein
Why is it I always get my best ideas while shaving?
Albert Einstein
When the number of factors coming into play in a phenomenological complex is too large scientific method in most cases fails. One need only think of the weather, in which case the prediction even for a few days ahead is impossible.
Albert Einstein
I see only with deep regret that God punishes so many of His children for their numerous stupidities, for which only He Himself can be held responsible in my opinion, only His nonexistence could excuse Him.
Albert Einstein
Intelligence is not the ability to store information, but to know where to find it.
Albert Einstein
I am of the opinion that all the finer speculations in the realm of science spring from a deep religious feeling, and that without such feeling they would not be fruitful.
Albert Einstein
When I was young, all I wanted and expected from life was to sit quietly in some corner doing my work without the public paying attention to me. And now see what has become of me.
Albert Einstein
If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x y is play and z is keeping your mouth shut
Albert Einstein
Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Albert Einstein
Physics is an attempt conceptually to grasp reality as something that is considered to be independent of its being observed. In this sense one speaks of physical reality.
Albert Einstein
Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.
Albert Einstein
...the physicist cannot simply surrender to the philosopher the critical contemplation of the theoretical foundations for, he himself knows best, and feels more surely where the shoe pinches...Physical conceptions are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world.
Albert Einstein
