Albert Einstein Quotes

Albert Einstein
E = M C2

Albert Einstein
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.

Albert Einstein
A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.

Albert Einstein
The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.

Albert Einstein
Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me.

That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.

Albert Einstein
You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.

Albert Einstein
One had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year.

Albert Einstein
...one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.

Albert Einstein
He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.

Albert Einstein
A human being is a part of a whole, called by us 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

Albert Einstein, Sign hanging in Einstein's office at Princeton
Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.

Albert Einstein
Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Albert Einstein
Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
There are two ways to live your life - one is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is a miracle.

Albert Einstein
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Albert Einstein
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.

Albert Einstein
Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.

Albert Einstein
The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.

Albert Einstein
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.

Albert Einstein
God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically.

Albert Einstein
The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.

Albert Einstein
Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.

Albert Einstein
Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.

Albert Einstein
The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.

Albert Einstein
We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.

Albert Einstein
Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.

Albert Einstein
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.

Albert Einstein
Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.

Albert Einstein
Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity.

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
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.

Albert Einstein
As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.

Albert Einstein
Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.

Albert Einstein
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

Albert Einstein
In order to form an immaculate member of a flock of sheep one must, above all, be a sheep.

Albert Einstein
The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.

Albert Einstein
Too many of us look upon Americans as dollar chasers. This is a cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans themselves.

Albert Einstein
Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them!

Albert Einstein
No, this trick won't work...How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?

Albert Einstein
My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.

Albert Einstein
Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our 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
The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking...the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker.

Albert Einstein
Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.

Albert Einstein Education Quotes

Albert Einstein
Most teachers waste their time by asking questions which are intended to discover what a pupil does not know, whereas the true art of questioning has for its purpose to discover what the pupil knows or is capable of knowing.

Albert Einstein
Never regard your study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.

Albert Einstein
Humiliation and mental oppression by ignorant and selfish teachers wreak havoc in the youthful mind that can never be undone and often exert a baleful influence in later life.

Albert Einstein
The aim (of education) must be the training of independently acting and thinking individuals who, however, can see in the service to the community their highest life achievement.

Albert Einstein
Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as a hard duty.

Albert Einstein
In the teaching of geography and history a sympathetic understanding (should) be fostered for the characteristics of the different peoples of the world, especially for those who we are in the habit of describing as "primitive.

Albert Einstein Intuition Quotes

Albert Einstein
It is better for people to be like the beasts...they should be more intuitive; they should not be too conscious of what they are doing while they are doing it.

Albert Einstein Life Quotes

Albert Einstein
Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.

Albert Einstein
The life of the individual has meaning only insofar as it aids in making the life of every living thing nobler and more beautiful. Life is sacred, that is to say, it is the supreme value, to which all other values are subordinate.

Albert Einstein
The most precious things in life are note those one gets for money.

Albert Einstein Peace Quotes

Albert Einstein
He who cherishes the values of culture cannot fail to be a pacifist.

Albert Einstein
The conscientious objector is a revolutionary. On deciding to disobey the law he sacrifices his personal interests to the most important cause of working for the betterment of society.

Albert Einstein
My pacificism is an instinctive feeling, a feeling that possesses me because the murder of people is disgusting. My attitude is not derived from any intellectual theory but is based on my deepest antipathy to every kind of cruelty and hatred.

Albert Einstein
There are two ways of resisting war: the legal way and the revolutionary way. The legal way involves the offer of alternative service not as a privilege for a few but as a right for all. The revolutionary view involves an uncompromising resistance, with a view to breaking the power of militarism in time of peace or the resources of the state in time of war.

Albert Einstein
It is characteristic of the military mentality that nonhuman factors (atom bombs, strategic bases, weapons of all sorts, the possession of raw materials, etc) are held essential, while the human being, his desires, and thoughts - in short, the psychological factors - are considered as unimportant and secondary...The individual is degraded...to "human materiel.

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

Albert Einstein
Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.

Albert Einstein
Nationalism, on my opinion, is nothing more than an idealistic rationalization for militarism and aggression.

Albert Einstein
He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.

Albert Einstein Philosophy Quotes

Albert Einstein
Everything is determined by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust - we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.

Albert Einstein Science Quotes

Albert Einstein
After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity, and form. The greatest scientists are always artists as well.

Albert Einstein
You cannot love a car the way you love a horse. The horse brings out human feelings the way machines cannot do. Things like machines may develop or neglect certain things in people ... Machines make our life impersonal and stultify certain elements in us and create an impersonal environment.

Albert Einstein
I believe that the horrifying deterioration in the ethical conduct of people today stems from the mechanization and dehumanization of our lives - the disastrous by-product of the scientific and technical mentality. Nostra culpa. Man grows cold faster than the planet he inhabits.

Albert Einstein
Betterment of conditions the world over is not essentially dependent on scientific knowledge but on the fulfillment of human traditions and ideals.

Albert Einstein Youth Quotes

Albert Einstein
People do not grow old no matter how long we live. We never cease to stand like curious children before the great Mystery into which we were born.

Albert Einstein
I am content in my later years. I have kept my good humor and take neither myself nor the next person seriously.

Other Albert Einstein Quotes

Albert Einstein
Human beings can attain a worthy and harmonious life only if they are able to rid themselves, within the limits of human nature, of the striving for the wish fulfillment of material kinds. The goal is to raise the spiritual values of society.

Albert Einstein
I admit thoughts influence the body.

Albert Einstein
Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this county is closely related with this.

Albert Einstein
I am absolutely convinced that no wealth in the world can help humanity forward, even in the hands of the most devoted worker in this cause. The example of great and pure personages is the only thing that can lead us to find ideas and noble deeds. Money only appeals to selfishness and always irresistibly tempts its owner to abuse it. Can anyone imagine Moses, Jesus or Gandhi with the moneybags of Carnegie?

Albert Einstein
Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.

Albert Einstein
The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.

Albert Einstein
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
The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent or absorbing positive knowledge.

Quotes from Movies: I'm The One That I Want
I love my gay male friends but when I was a little girl, I always wished that I would be constantly surrounded by gorgeous guys. And I am... and I should have been more specific.

Quotes from Movies: Jerry Maguire
Don't cry at the beginning of the date. Cry at the end of the date like I do.

Quotes from Movies: Julia
Old paint on canvas – as it ages – sometimes becomes transparent. When that happens, it is possible, in some pictures, to see the original lines: a tree will show through a woman's dress, a child makes way for a dog, a large boat is no longer on open sea. That is called pentimento because the painter 'repented,' changed his mind. Perhaps it would be as well to say that the old conception, replaced by a later choice, is a way of seeing and then seeing again.

Quotes from Movies: A League of Their Own
Jimmy: (prayer before the game) Oh, Lord! Hallowed be Thy name. May our feet be swift; may our bats be mighty; may our balls... be plentiful. Lord, I'd just like to thank you for that waitress in South Bend. You know who she is – she kept calling your name.

Quotes from Movies: Living Out Loud
I was married. My husband cheated on me left and right. He made me feel like I was crazy all the time. One day, he tells me it's MY fault he saw other women. So I picked up a knife and told him it was HIS fault I was stabbing him.

Quotes from Movies: Lost and Found
When the phone ain't ringing, that's me not calling.

Quotes from Movies: Love and Death
All men are mortal. Socrates was mortal. Therefore, all men are Socrates... which means that all men are homosexuals...

Look into your lover's eyes. Whisper one of these famous movie love quotes.
Cupid has to strike! These famous movie love quotes are a favorite with many couples.
If you are looking for the most seductive love quote, you will find it here. Love quotes of this intensity are hard to find.

Casablanca
Kiss me. Kiss me as if it were the last time.

Crimes and Misdemeanors
My husband and I fell in love at first sight... maybe I should have taken a second look.

Fried Green Tomatoes
A heart can be broken; but it keeps beating just the same.

Four Weddings and a Funeral
I always just hoped that, that I'd meet some nice friendly girl, like the look of her, hope the look of me didn't make her physically sick, then pop the question and... um... settle down and be happy. It worked for my parents. Well, apart from the divorce and all that!

Love and Death
To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love; but then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer, to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love; to be happy then is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy; therefore to be unhappy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down.

When Harry Met Sally
I love that you get cold when it is 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

When Harry Met Sally
You can't express every feeling that you have every moment that you have them.

Wizard of Oz
Hearts will never be practical until they are made unbreakable...

Wizard of Oz
Without a heart I can never really know what it would be like to love someone, or ever really understand trashy novels.
