Albert Einstein quotes

German-American physicist, Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921, 1879-1955


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

 

The bitter and the sweet come from the outside, the hard from within, from one's own efforts.

 

The devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life. Either we suffer in health or we suffer in soul or we get fat.

 

The discovery of nuclear chain reactions need not bring about the destruction of mankind any more than did the discovery of matches. We only must do everything in our power to safeguard against its abuse. Only a supranational organization, equipped wit h a sufficiently strong executive power, can protect us.

 

So long as they don't get violent, I want to let everyone say what they wish, for I myself have always said exactly what pleased me.

 

The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. He who know it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle.

 

Since the mathematicians have invaded the theory of relativity, I do not understand it myself anymore.

 

The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.

 

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 sent iment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself amoung profoundly religious men.

 

The foundation of morality should not be made dependent on myth nor tied to any authority lest doubt about the myth or about the legitimacy of the authority imperil the foundation of sound judgment and action.
