Albert Einstein Quote # 20

The real difficulty, the difficulty which has baffled the sages of all times, is rather this: how can we make our teaching so potent in the motional life of man, that its influence should withstand the pressure of the elemental psychic forces in the individual?

Albert Einstein Quote # 19

One must not attempt to justify them, but rather to sense their nature simply and clearly.

Albert Einstein Quote # 18

But their intervention makes our acts to serve ever less merely the immediate claims of our instincts.

Albert Einstein Quote # 17

If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.

Albert Einstein Quote # 16

And the high destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule, or to impose himself in any other way.

Albert Einstein Quote # 15

What I see in Nature is a magnificent structure that we can comprehend only very imperfectly, and that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of humility. This is a genuinely religious feeling that has nothing to do with mysticism.

Albert Einstein Quote # 14

My life is a simple thing that would interest no one. It is a known fact that I was born and that is all that is necessary.

Albert Einstein Quote # 13

The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenatrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sentiment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself amoung profoundly religious men.

Albert Einstein Quote # 12

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.

Albert Einstein Quote # 9

All of us who are concerned for peace and triumph of reason and justice must be keenly aware how small an influence reason and honest good will exert upon events in the political field.

Albert Einstein Quote # 8

After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity, and form. The greatest scientists are always artists as well.

Albert Einstein Quote # 7

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

Albert Einstein Quote # 6

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

Albert Einstein Quote # 5

A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.

Albert Einstein Quote # 4

A perfection of means, and confusion of aims, seems to be our main problem.

Albert Einstein Quote # 3

A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.

Albert Einstein Quote # 2

A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.

Albert Einstein Quote # 1

A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend 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.
