I do not believe in a God who maliciously or arbitrarily interferes in the personal affairs of mankind. My religion consists of a humble admiration for the vast power which manifests itself in that small part of the universe which our poor, weak minds can grasp!
Albert Einstein
I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.
Albert Einstein
I have only two rules which I regard as principles of conduct. The first is: Have no rules. The second is: Be independent of the opinion of others.
Albert Einstein
The cosmic religious feeling is the strongest and noblest motive for scientific research.
Albert Einstein
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.
Albert Einstein
Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.
Albert Einstein
I do not know how the Third World War will be fought, but I can tell you what they will use in the Fourth—rocks!
Albert Einstein
For the most part we humans live with the false impression of security and a feeling of being at home in a seemingly trustworthy physical and human environment. But when the expected course of everyday life is interrupted, we are like shipwrecked people on a miserable plank in the open sea, having forgotten where they came from and not knowing whether they are drifting. But once we fully accept this, life becomes easier and there is no longer any disappointment.
Albert Einstein
My political ideal is democracy. Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized.
Albert Einstein
Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.
Albert Einstein
A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, 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.
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.
Albert Einstein
A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, our perceptions of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which only in their most primitive forms are accessible to our minds: it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute true religiosity.
Albert Einstein
The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense in which he has attained to liberation from the self.
Albert Einstein
The fact that man produces a concept "I" besides the totality of his mental and emotional experiences or perceptions does not prove that there must be any specific existence behind such a concept. We are succumbing to illusions produced by our self-created language, without reaching a better understanding of anything.
