The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms.

Albert Einstein

Pure mathematics is in its way the poetry of logical ideas.

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 world is in greater peril from those who tolerate or encourage evil than from those who actually commit it.

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

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

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

Anyone who doesn’t take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.

Albert Einstein

The mere formulation of a problem is far more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skills. To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle requires creative imagination and marks real advances in science.

Albert Einstein

A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?

Albert Einstein

All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree.

Albert Einstein

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.

Albert Einstein

Smoke like a chimney, work like a horse, eat without thinking, go for a walk only in really pleasant company.

Albert Einstein

You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.

Albert Einstein

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

Albert Einstein

Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.

Albert Einstein

The mind that opens to a new idea never returns to its original size.

Albert Einstein

Common sense is that layer of prejudices which we acquire before we are sixteen.

Albert Einstein

I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am.

Albert Einstein

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

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

I love Humanity but I hate humans.

Albert Einstein

I would teach peace rather than war. I would inculcate love rather than hate.

Albert Einstein

If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?

Albert Einstein

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.

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

I am by heritage a Jew, by citizenship a Swiss, and by makeup a human being, and only a human being, without any special attachment to any state or national entity whatsoever.

Albert Einstein

I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.

Albert Einstein

Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.

Albert Einstein

Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Albert Einstein

Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hopes of reward after death.

Albert Einstein

Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.

Albert Einstein

We should take care not to make the intellect our god it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.

Albert Einstein

Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.

Albert Einstein

Morality is of the highest importance – but for us, not for God.

Albert Einstein

I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.

Albert Einstein

Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.

Albert Einstein

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.

Albert Einstein

Never lose a holy curiosity.

Albert Einstein

Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.

Albert Einstein

Invention is not the product of logical thought, even though the final product is tied to a logical structure.

Albert Einstein

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Albert Einstein

A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.

Albert Einstein

There is a driving force more powerful than steam, electricity and nuclear power: the will.

Albert Einstein

Let us not forget that human knowledge and skills alone cannot lead humanity to a happy and dignified life.

Albert Einstein

No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right a single experiment can prove me wrong.

Albert Einstein

The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.

Albert Einstein

Everything is Energy and that is all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you can not help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.

Albert Einstein

The strength of the Constitution lies entirely in the determination of each citizen to defend it. Only if every single citizen feels duty bound to do his share in this defense are the constitutional rights secure.

Albert Einstein

The years of anxious searching in the dark, with their intense longing, their alternations of confidence and exhaustion, and final emergence into light—only those who have experienced it can understand that.

Albert Einstein

Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.

Albert Einstein

My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.

Albert Einstein

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.

Albert Einstein

Although I am a typical loner in daily life, my consciousness of belonging to the invisible community of those who strive for truth, beauty, and justice has preserved me from feeling isolated.

Albert Einstein

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.

Albert Einstein

You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.

Albert Einstein

I shall never believe that God plays dice with the world.

Albert Einstein

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.

Albert Einstein

The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.

Albert Einstein

I live my daydreams in music I see my life in terms of music. I get most joy in life out of music.

Albert Einstein

A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?

Albert Einstein

Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.

Albert Einstein

You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created.

Albert Einstein

Truth is what stands the test of experience.

Albert Einstein

If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare me a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German, and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.

Albert Einstein

It is, in fact, nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry.

Albert Einstein

Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the Gods.

Albert Einstein

If I had only known, I would have been a locksmith.

Albert Einstein

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

Albert Einstein

Nothing truly valuable arises from ambition or from a mere sense of duty; it stems rather from love and devotion towards men and towards objective things.

Albert Einstein

The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious.

Albert Einstein

So long as there are men, there will be wars.

Albert Einstein

One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.

Albert Einstein

Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as a hard duty.

Albert Einstein

Nuclear power is one hell of a way to boil water.

Albert Einstein
