"It is best, it seems to me, to separate one's inner striving from one's

"It may affront the military-minded person to suggest a reqime that

"It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would
make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a

Einstein
"So long as they don't get violent, I want to let everyone say what they

"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned
my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, scince for
him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization
should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless
brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all
this, how despiceable an ignoreable war is; I would rather be torn to
shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that
killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." -- Albert
Einstein

Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing. -- Albert

eighteen."
- Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio, replied:
"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."
God doesn't play dice.
-- Albert Einstein
God may be subtle, but He isn't plain mean. -- Albert Einstein
"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
If A equals success, then the formula is _ A = _ X + _ Y + _ Z. _ X is

Man usually avoids attributing cleverness to somebody else

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm
not sure about the former." --Albert Einstein
"Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish." --Albert
Einstein (1879-1955)
"The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all
comprehensible." --Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
"The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has
merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one."

"You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war." --Albert
Einstein (1879-1955)
"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." --A. 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." --Einstein, Albert
"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy,
education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would
indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of
punishment and hope of reward after death." --Einstein, Albert
"What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the
creation of the world." --Albert Einstein
"If one studies too zealously, one easily loses his pants." --Albert
Einstein
Through the release of atomic energy, our generation has brought into
the world the most revolutionary force since prehistoric man's
discovery of fire. This basic force of the universe cannot be fitted into
the outmoded concept of narrow nationalisms.
For there is no secret and there is no defense; there is no possibility of
control except through the aroused understanding and insistence of
the peoples of the world. We scientists recognise our inescapable
responsibility to carry to our fellow citizens an understanding of atomic
energy and its implication for society. In this lies our only security and
our only hope - we believe that an informed citizenry will act for life
and not for death.
A. Einstein, 1947 d.C.
If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.
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.
Albert Einstein
Ethical axioms are found and tested not very differently from the axioms
of science. Truth is what stands the test of experience.
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.

War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

"If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research,
would it?"
"A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer
life are based on the labors of others ."
"Do not worry about your problems with mathematics, I assure you
mine are far greater."
"Two things inspire me to awe -- the starry heavens above and the
moral universe within."
"Man tries to make for himself in the fashion that suits him
best a simplified and intelligible picture of the world;
he then tries to some extent to substitute this cosmos of
his for the world of experience, and thus to overcome it.
This is what the painter, the poet, the speculative
philosopher, and the natural scientists do, each in his own
fashion.
Each makes this cosmos and its construction the pivot of
his emotional life,
in order to find in this way peace and security which he can
not find in the narrow whirlpool of personal experience."
On Education
"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."
"We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it
has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality."

a man need to be happy."
"Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for
nothing."
"Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with
their own hearts."

their own hearts."
