It is certainly true that principles cannot be more securely founded than on experience and consciously clear thinking.
Albert Einstein

Nothing happens unless something moves.
Albert Einstein

I have survived two wars, two wives and Hitler.
Albert Einstein
Image
Human beings, in their thinking, feeling and acting are not free agents but are as causally bound as the stars in their motion.
Albert Einstein
Image
The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.
Albert Einstein
Image
The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man.
Albert Einstein
Image
When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.
Albert Einstein
Image
My only refuge, as a serious young man, from the despair of my financial burden to my family, is that I did everything I could to never permit myself any amusements or diversions except those afforded by my studies.
Albert Einstein

The highest principles for our aspirations and judgments are given to us in the Jewish-Christian religious tradition.
Albert Einstein
Image

Albert Einstein
Image
The world needs heroes and it's better they be harmless men like me than villains like Hitler
Albert Einstein
Image
I wish to do something Great and Wonderful, but I must start by doing the little things like they were Great and Wonderful
Albert Einstein
Image
I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being.
Albert Einstein
Image
Common sense invents and constructs no less than its own field than science does in its domain. It is, however, in the nature of common sense not to be aware of this situation.
Albert Einstein
Image
Anybody who really wants to abolish war must resolutely declare himself in favor of his own country's resigning a portion of sovereignty in place of international institutions.
Albert Einstein
Image
To one bent on age, death will come as a release. I feel this quite strongly now that I have grown old myself and have come to regard death like an old debt, at long last to be discharged.
Albert Einstein
Image
Empathy is patiently and sincerely seeing the world through the other person's eyes. It is not learned in school it is cultivated over a lifetime.
Albert Einstein
Image
Although I cannot believe that the individual survives the death of his body, feeble souls harbor such thought through fear or ridiculous egotism.
Albert Einstein
Image
Truly novel inventions emerge only in one's youth. Later one becomes ever more experienced, famous-and foolish.
Albert Einstein

Human beings are not condemned, because of their biological constitution, to annihilate each other or to be at the mercy of a cruel, self-inflicted fate.
