Albert Einstein, Albert Einstein Quotes, Albert Einstein Quotations, Albert Einstein Sayings, and Famous Albert Einstein QuotationsGreat spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds. The
latter cannot understand it when a [person] does not thoughtlessly submit to
hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses their intelligence.
Subtle is the Lord, but malicious He is not. There remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable. Veneration for
this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion Human beings, vegetables, or comic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune
intoned in the distance by an invisible player Do you believe in immortality? No, and one life is enough for me How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn;for
what purpose we know not, though sometimes sense it. But we know from daily
life that we exist for other people first of all for whose smiles and well-being
our own happiness depends. Scientists were rated as great heretics by the church, but they were truly
religious men because of their faith in the orderliness of the universe. I do not believe that the Good Lord plays dice When forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence:
Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter. We know nothing at all. All our knowledge is but the knowledge of schoolchildren.
The real nature of things we shall never know You teach me baseball and I'll teach you relativity...No we must not You will
learn about relativity faster than I learn baseball. For every one billion particles of antimatter there were one billion and one
particles of matter. And when the mutual annihilation was complete, one billionth
remained - and that's our present universe. Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving So long as there are men there will be wars Nationalism is an infantile diease, the measles of mankind I believe in standardizing automobiles, not human beings To get to know a country, you must have direct contact with the earth. It's
futile to gaze at the world through a car window I love to travel, But hate to arrive Politics is more difficult than physics I hate crowds and making speeches. I hate facing cameras and having to answer
to a crossfire of questions. Why popular fancy should seize upon me, a scientist,
dealing in abstract things and happy if left alone, is a manifestation of mass
psychology that is beyond me. Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the life-long attempt to acquire
it. Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts. Isn't it strange that I who have written only unpopular books should be such
a popular fellow? The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable receiving.
The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can
be counted. Try not to be a person of success, but rather a person of virtue He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He
has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would
suffice. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different
results. Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a
touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing
is to not stop questioning. I never think of the future. It comes soon enough. 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. Perfection of means and confusion of ends seem to characterize our age. I have deep faith that the principle of the universe will be beautiful and
simple. Truth is what stands the test of experience. The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason
for existing. Quantum mechanics is very impressive. But an inner voice tells me that it is
not yet the real thing. The theory yields a lot, but it hardly brings us any
closer to the secret of the Old One. In any case I am convinced that He doesn't
play dice. I am neither especially clever nor especially gifted. I am only very, very
curious. When his wife asked him to change clothes to meet the German Ambassador: they
want to see me, here I am. If they want to see my clothes, open my closet and
show them my suits. Lasting harmony with a woman(was) an undertaking in which I twice failed rather
disgracefully The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources. 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.
People like you and I, though mortal of course like everyone else, 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. The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind. It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity
Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual
who can labor in freedom. We have to do the best we can. This is our sacred human responsibility. I think and think for months and years, ninety-nine times, the conclusion is
false. The hundredth time I am right. 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.
I cannot do this in spite of the fact that mechanistic causality has, to a certain
extent, been placed in doubt by modern science. [He was speaking of Quantum
Mechanics and the breaking down of determinism.] My religiosity consists in
a humble admiratation of the infinitely superior spirit that reveals itself
in the little that we, with our weak and transitory understanding, can comprehend
of reality. Morality is of the highest importance -- but for us, not for God
Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift
and not as a hard duty Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love. Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing that is something,
wearing stripes with plaid comes easy. The pioneers of a warless world are the youth who refuse military service.
The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted
to remain children all our lives. Those instrumental goods which should serve to maintain the life and health
of all human beings should be produced by the least possible labour of all.
The search for truth is more precious than its possession Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen. The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because
of those who look on and do nothing. I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious. Example isn't another way to teach, it is the only way to teach. With fame I become more and more stupid, which of course is a very common phenomenon.
I want to know God's thoughts...the rest are details. Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world
of objective perception and thought. As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and
as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality I don't believe in mathematics. I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV
will be fought with sticks and stones. If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, X is work. Y is play.
Z is keep your mouth shut. The ideals that have lighted my way and time after time have give me new courage
to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty and Truth. Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value. Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, a I'm not sure
about the former. A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy? Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. Do not worry about your problems with mathematics, I assure you mine are far
greater. If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would
it ? Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them. It gives me great pleasure indeed to see the stubbornness of an incorrigible
nonconformist warmly acclaimed Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with
a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S relativity Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
