THE BEST QUOTES - ALBERT EINSTEIN
THE BEST QUOTES - ALBERT EINSTEIN:
"The value of achievement lies in the
achieving."
"Long live impudence! It’s my guardian
angel in this world."
"I always get by best with my naivety,
which is 20 percent deliberate."
"A happy man is too satisfied with the
present to dwell too much on the future."
"Nothing truly valuable arises from
ambition or from a mere sense of duty; it stems rather from love and devotion
toward men and toward objective things."
"If you are out to describe the truth,
leave elegance to the tailor."
"Anger dwells only in the bosom of
fools."
"Three rules of work: Out of
clutter find simplicity; From discord find harmony; In the middle of difficulty
lies opportunity."
"On the mysterious: It is the
fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. He
who knows it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good
as dead, a snuffed-out candle."
"The only thing more dangerous than
ignorance is arrogance."
"Weak people revenge. Strong people forgive. Intelligent
people ignore."
"To see with one’s own eyes, to feel and judge without
succumbing to the suggestive power of the fashion of the day, to be able to
express what one has seen and felt in a trim sentence or even in a cunningly
wrought word – is that not glorious? Is it not a proper subject for
congratulation?"
"Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a
great scientist. They are wrong: it is character."
"The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after
time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been truth,
goodness, and beauty."
"If people are good only because they fear punishment, and
hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed."
"To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old
problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance
in science."
"I do not at all believe in human freedom in the
philosophical sense. Everybody acts not only under external compulsion but also
in accordance with inner necessity."
"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."
"Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of
truth."
"The only thing I did was this: in long intervals I have
expressed an opinion on public issues whenever they appeared to me so bad and
unfortunate that silence would have made me feel guilty of complicity."
"How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here
for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks
he senses it."
"I am by heritage a Jew, by citizenship a Swiss, and by
makeup a human being, and only a human being, without any special attachment to
any state or national entity whatsoever."
"The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and
not in what he is able to receive."
"When I am judging a theory, I ask myself whether, if I
were God, I would have arranged the world in such a way."
"I believe in intuition and inspiration. At times I feel
certain I am right while not knowing the reason."
"Don’t listen to the person who has the answers; listen to
the person who has the questions."
