ALBERT EINSTEIN......
A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.
......*
A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?
.....*
A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?
.....*
All our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike-and yet it is the most precious thing we have.
.....*
All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual.
.....*
An empty stomach is not a good political adviser.
.....*
Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.
.....*
Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention
it deserves.
.....*
Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.
.....*
Concern for man and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations.
.....*
Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
....*
Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.
....*
Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
....*
Formal symbolic representation of qualitative entities is doomed to its rightful place of minor significance in a worldwhere flowers and beautiful women abound.
.....*
God does not play dice.
.....*
Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.
.....*
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
.....*
How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.
.....*
Human beings must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.
....*
Humanity has every reason to place the proclaimers of high moral standards and values above the discoverers of objective truth. What humanity owes to personalities like Buddha, Moses, and Jesus ranks for me higher than all the achievements of the of the inquiring constructive mind.
.....*
I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
.....*
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.
.....*
I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth will be killed.
.....*
I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.
.....*
I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.
.....*
I made one great mistake in my life-when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending
that atom bombs be made but there was some justification-the danger that the Germans would make them.
.....*
I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion.
.....*
If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.
.....*
If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.
.....*
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
.....*
Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them.
.....*
It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.
It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.
.....*
It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.
.....*
Long hair minimizes the need for barbers; socks can be done without; one leather jacket solves the coat problem for many years; suspenders are superfluous.
.....*
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.
.....*
People love chopping wood. In this activity one immediately sees results.
....*
Possessions, outward success, publicity, luxury - to me these have always been contemptible. I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for every one, best both for the body and the mind.
.....*
Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like anhour. 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.
.....*
Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.
.....*
The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.
.....*
The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.
.....*
The hardest thing to understand in the world is the income tax.
.....*
The only source of knowledge is experience.
.....*
The real problem is in the hearts and minds of men. It is not a problem of physics but of ethics.It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil from the spirit of man.
.....*
The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. The religion which based on experience, refuses the dogmatic. If there's any religion that would cope with scientific needs it will be Buddhism.
.....*
The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.
.....*
The wireless telegraph is not difficult to understand. The ordinary telegraph is like a very long cat.
You pull the tail in New York, and it meows in Los Angeles. The wireless is the same, only without the cat.
.....*
The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on
and do nothing.
.....*
To the Master's honor all must turn, each in its track, without a sound, forever tracing Newton's ground.
.....*
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.
....*
We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.
.....*
We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.
.....*
We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.
.....*
Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked
by the laughter of the gods.
.....*
Why does this applied science, which saves work and makes life easier, bring us so little happiness?
The simple answer runs: Because we have not yet learned to make sensible use of it.
.....*
You ask me if I keep a notebook to record my great ideas. I've only ever had one.
