How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will. (Albert Einstein)
Subtle is the Lord. Malicious, He is not. View quote
Albert Einstein
Had I known that the Germans would not succeed in producing an atomic bomb, I would not have lifted a finger. View quote
Albert Einstein
To take those fools in clerical garb seriously is to show them too much honor. View quote
Albert Einstein
The conflict that exists today is no more than an old-style struggle for power, once again presented to mankind in semireligious trappings. The difference is that, this time, the development of atomic power has imbued the struggle with a ghostly character; for both parties know and admit that, should the quarrel deteriorate into actual war, mankind is doomed.

Albert Einstein
I want to know the thoughts of God. Everything else is just details. View quote
Albert Einstein
I believe that whatever we do or live for has its causality; it is good, however, that we cannot see through to it. View quote
Albert Einstein
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. View quote
Albert Einstein
There has been an earth for a little more than a billion years. As for the question of the end of it I advise: Wait and see! View quote
Albert Einstein
I never failed in mathematics. Before I was fifteen I had mastered differential and integral calculus. View quote
Albert Einstein
The most important tool of the theoretical physicist is his wastebasket. (Albert Einstein)
But then, after all, we are all alike, for we are all derived from the monkey. View quote
Albert Einstein
I received your letter of June 10th. I have never talked to a Jesuit priest in my life and I am astonished by the audacity to tell such lies about me. From the viewpoint of a Jesuit priest I am, of course, and have always been an atheist. View quote
Albert Einstein
In matters of trust and justice there can be no distinction between big problems and small, for the general principles which determine the conduct of men are indivisible. Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted in important affairs. View quote
Albert Einstein
God does not play dice with the universe. View quote
Albert Einstein
By an application of the theory of relativity to the taste of readers, today in Germany I am called a German man of science, and in England I am represented as a Swiss Jew. If I come to be represented as a bête noire, the descriptions will be reversed, and I shall become a Swiss Jew for the Germans and a German man of science for the English! View quote
Albert Einstein
As long as there are sovereign nations possessing great power, war is inevitable. View quote
Albert Einstein
I refuse to make money out of my science. My laurel is not for sale like so many bales of cotton. View quote
Albert Einstein
But science can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with the aspiration toward truth and understanding. This source of feeling, however, springs from the sphere of religion. To this there also belongs the faith in the possibility that the regulations valid for the world of existence are rational, that is, comprehensible to reason. I cannot conceive of a genuine scientist without that profound faith. The situation may be expressed by an image: science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. View quote
Albert Einstein
Falling in love is not at all the most stupid thing that people do - but gravitation cannot be held responsible for it. View quote
Albert Einstein
The great moral teachers of humanity were in a way artistic geniuses in the art of living. (Albert Einstein)
Whether or not you can observe a thing depends upon the theory you use. It is the theory which decides what can be observed. View quote
Albert Einstein
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. View quote
Albert Einstein
May the conscience and the common sense of the peoples be awakened, so that we may reach a new stage in the life of nations, where people will look back on war as an incomprehensible aberration of their forefathers! View quote
Albert Einstein
On quantum theory I use up more brain grease (rough translation of German idiom) than on relativity. View quote
Albert Einstein
