It is every man's obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it.
- Albert Einstein
The significant problems of our time cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.
- Albert Einstein
Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.
- Albert Einstein
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble minds harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms.
- Albert Einstein
Love is a better teacher than duty.
- Albert Einstein
A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?
- Albert Einstein
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
Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.
- Albert Einstein
If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
- Albert Einstein
I am a deeply religious nonbeliever -- this is a somewhat new kind of religion.
- Albert Einstein
A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?
- Albert Einstein
Information is not knowledge.
- Albert Einstein
It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.
- Albert Einstein
I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.
- Albert Einstein
Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.
- Albert Einstein
Few is the number who think with their own minds and feel with their own hearts.
- Albert Einstein
The crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his future career.
- Albert Einstein
Feeling and longing are the motive forces behind all human endeavor and human creations.
- Albert Einstein
There are only 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
If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
- Albert Einstein
I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.
- Albert Einstein
I don't try to imagine a personal god; it suffices to stand in awe at the structure of the world, insofar as it allows our inadequate senses to appreciate it.
- Albert Einstein
I think that only daring speculation can lead us further and not accumulation of facts.
- Albert Einstein
Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
- Albert Einstein
A hundred times a day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depends on the labor of other [people], living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving. I am strongly drawn to the simple life and am often oppressed by the feeling that I am engrossing an unnecessary amount of the labor of my fellow [people]. I regard class differences as contrary to justice and, in the last resort, based on force. I also consider that plain living is good for everybody, physically and mentally.
- Albert Einstein
The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. . . . The ordinary objects of human endeavour -- property, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me contemptible.
- Albert Einstein
Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we currently know and understand, imagination points to all we might yet discover and create.
- Albert Einstein
Science can only determine what is, but not what shall be, and beyond its realm, value judgements remain indispensable. Religion, on the other hand, is concerned only with evaluating human thought and actions; it is not qualified to speak of real facts and the relationships between them.
- Albert Einstein
There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance.
- Albert Einstein
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
- Albert Einstein
Setting an example is not the main means of influencing another, it is the only means.
- Albert Einstein
My passionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct contact with other human beings and human communities.
- Albert Einstein
The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
- 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
Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
- 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
Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.
- Albert Einstein
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
Great ideas often receive violent opposition from mediocre minds.
- Albert Einstein
I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.
- Albert Einstein
Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value.
- Albert Einstein
The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.
- Albert Einstein
Technological change is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.
- Albert Einstein
Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them.
- 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
It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.
- 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
I do not believe in the immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern without any superhuman authority behind it.
- Albert Einstein
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.
- Albert Einstein
Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
- Albert Einstein
Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler.
- Albert Einstein
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
- Albert Einstein
All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom.
- Albert Einstein
A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling 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
If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.
- Albert Einstein
True religion is real living; living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness.
- Albert Einstein
Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.
- Albert Einstein
When you look at yourself from a universal standpoint, something inside always reminds or informs you that there are bigger and better things to worry about.
- Albert Einstein
The only real valuable thing is intuition.
- Albert Einstein
