Quotes by Albert Einstein


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

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

Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

I never teach my pupils. I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.

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

Imagination is more important than knowledge...

It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.

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.

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.

The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. The trite subjects of human efforts, possessions, outward success, luxury have always seemed to me contemptible.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.

I will not go down under the ground 'Cause somebody tells me that death's coming 'round And I will not carry myself down to die When I go to my grave, my head will be high ~Bob Dylan Do not go gentle into that good night Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.

And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless me now with your fierce t...

All sunshine and no rain make a Desert

There has to be some pain and hard times because these are part of love, marriage and commitment. All sunshine and no rain make a Desert. It is through some of the hard times that people/couples grow closer and character develops.

Broken mended

How many times can one heart break? It was never supposed to be this way Look in the mirror, but you find someone you never thought you'd be Oh, but I can still recognize The one I love in your tear stained eyes I know you might not see him now, so lift your eyes to me When you see broken beyond repair I see healing beyond belief When you see too far gone I see one step away from home When you see nothing but damaged goods I see something good in the making I'm not finished yet When you see wounded, I see mended You see your worst mistake But I see the price I paid There's nothing you could ever do, to lose what grace has won So hold on, it's not the end No, this is where love's work begins I'm making all things new And I will make a miracle of you I see my child, my beloved The new creation you're becoming You see the scars from when you fell But I see the stories they will tell You see worthless, I see priceless You see...
