Einstein said so.....

-We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality. It cannot lead, it can only serve- Einstein

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

-A little knowledge is dangerous. So is a lot. - Einstein

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

-A person starts to live when he can live outside himself. - Einstein

-Any fool can know. The point is to understand. - Einstein

-Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction.- Einstein

-Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. - Einstein

-As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it. - Einstein

-Before God we are all equally wise — and equally foolish. - Einstein

-Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous. - Einstein

-Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid. Human beings are incredibly slow, inaccurate and brilliant. Together they are powerful beyond imagination. - Einstein

-Education is what remains after one has forgotten
everything he learned in school. - Einstein

-Ethical axioms are found and tested not very differently from the axioms of science. Truth is what stands the test of experience. - Einstein

-Truth is what stands the test of experience. - Einstein

-Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom. - Einstein

-Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts. - Einstein

-God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically. - Einstein

-I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own — a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms. -- Einstein

-I don't pretend to understand the universe — it's much bigger than I am. -- Einstein

-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. -- Einstein

-I never think of the future. It comes soon enough. -- Einstein

-I experienced as a child at the age of four or five when my father showed me a compass. That this needle behaved in such a determined way was all out of place concerning the manner of the events which could find a place in the unconscious vocabulary of concepts… I still remember today… that this experience has left a permanent impression with me.

-I think that only daring speculation can lead us further and not accumulation of facts.

-I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details. -- Einstein

-I wish they don't forget to keep those treasures pure which they have in excellence over the west: their artistic building of life, the simplicity and modesty in personal need, and the pureness and calmness of Japanese soul. (referring to the Japanese people.)

-If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.

-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. -- Einstein

-If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed. -- Einstein

-If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.

-If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.

-In order to form an immaculate member of a flock of sheep one must, above all, be a sheep.

-In the matter of physics, the first lessons should contain nothing but what is experimental and interesting to see. A pretty experiment is in itself often more valuable than twenty formulae extracted from our minds.

-In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.

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

-It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.

-It is almost a miracle that modern teaching methods have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for what this delicate little plant needs more than anything, besides stimulation, is freedom

-It is harder to crack a prejudice than an atom. -- Einstein

-It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer. -- Einstein

-It is the duty of every citizen according to his best capacities to give validity to his convictions in political affairs.

-Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population.

-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.

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

-Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.

-No, this trick won't work... How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?

-Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.

-On quantum theory I use up more brain grease than on relativity. -- Einstein

-Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing that is something, wearing stripes with plaid comes easy.

-One strength of the communist system of the East is that it has some of the character of a religion and inspires the emotions of a religion. -- Einstein

-One thing I have learned in a long life: All our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike — and yet it is the most precious thing we have. -- Einstein

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

-Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem — in my opinion — to characterize our age.

-Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.

-Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

-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.

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

-The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.

-The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility… The fact that it is comprehensible is a miracle. -- Einstein

-The hardest thing to understand in the world is the income tax.

-The mass of a body is a measure of its energy content.

-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 most important human endeavor is the striving for morality in our actions. Our inner balance and even our very existence depend on it. Only morality in our actions can give beauty and dignity to life.

-The most powerful force in the universe is compound interest.

-The only real valuable thing is intuition. The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery.

-Problems cannot be solved by the level of awareness that created them.

-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 release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.

-The search for truth is more precious than its possession.

-The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.

-The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.

-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.

-Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.

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

-Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.

-We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.

-Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.

-What does a fish know about the water in which it swims all its life?

-What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world.

-When I read the Bhagavad Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous.

-Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.

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

-Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever.

-You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.

-Every day, man is making bigger and better foolproof
things, and every day, Nature is making bigger and better fools. So far, I think Nature is winning. -- Einstein

-Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: It transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural and the spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity.

-Evil is the absence of God. -- Einstein

-Two things inspire me to awe: the starry heavens and the moral universe within. -- Einstein

-The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education. -- Einstein

-There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there. -- Einstein

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