Albert Einstein

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

• A man must learn to understand the motives of human beings, their illusions, and their sufferings.

• A person starts to live when he can live outside himself.

• Any fool can know. The point is to understand.
• Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
• Generations to come, it may be, will scarcely believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth.In reference to the death of Mahatma Gandhi
• I don't pretend to understand the universe — it's much bigger than I am.

• If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.

• I love to travel, but hate to arrive.

• I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.
• If I give you a pfennig, you will be one pfennig richer and I'll be one pfennig poorer. But if I give you an idea, you will have a new idea, but I shall still have it, too.
• If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.
• In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.
• It is harder to crack a prejudice than an atom.

• It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.
• Measured objectively, what a man can wrest from Truth by passionate striving is utterly infinitesimal. But the striving frees us from the bonds of the self and makes us comrades of those who are the best and the greatest.

• 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.
• Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.
• Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
• Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.
• Setting an example is not the main means of influencing another, it is the only means.

• Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing.
• The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.
• The physicists say that I am a mathematician, and the mathematicians say that I am a physicist. I am a completely isolated man and though everybody knows me, there are very few people who really know me.
• The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.

• There remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion.
• The search for truth is more precious than its possession.
• The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

• 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.
• Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.
• Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.
• A little knowledge is dangerous. So is a lot.
• What is the meaning of human life, or of organic life altogether? To answer this question at all implies a religion. Is there any sense then, you ask, in putting it? I answer, the man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unfortunate but almost disqualified for life.
• A man's value to the community depends primarily on how far his feelings, thoughts, and actions are directed towards promoting the good of his fellows.
• Only the individual can think, and thereby create new values for society — nay, even set up new moral standards to which the life of the community conforms. Without creative, independently thinking and judging personalities the upward development of society is as unthinkable as the development of the individual personality without the nourishing soil of the community.
  The health of society thus depends quite as much on the independence of the individuals composing it as on their close political cohesion.
• If one purges the Judaism of the Prophets and Christianity as Jesus Christ taught it of all subsequent additions, especially those of the priests, one is left with a teaching which is capable of curing all the social ills of humanity.
