1. "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." Albert Einstein
2. "Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you, mine are still greater." Albert Einstein
3. "Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the
present, but an equation is something for eternity." Albert Einstein
4. "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
5. "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe." Albert Einstein
6. "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
7."Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge
is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods." Albert Einstein
8. "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
9. "In order to form an immaculate member of a flock of sheep one must, above all, be a sheep." Albert Einstein
10. "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
11.
"Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense
that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them!" Albert Einstein
12. "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
13. "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
14. "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
15. "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
16. "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
17.
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is
the source of all true art and all science. Albert Einstein
18. 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
19. "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
20 . "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
21.
"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
22.
"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
23.
"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
24. "...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. Albert Einstein
25. A finely tempered nature
longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective
perception and thought." Albert Einstein
26. "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. Albert Einstein
27. This disgrace to civilization should
be done away with at once. Albert Einstein
28. 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. Albert Einstein
29. It is my conviction that
killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." Albert Einstein
30. "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. Albert Einstein
31. 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. Albert Einstein
32. 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
33. "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that
can be counted counts."
