Albert Einstein

Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.

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.

Before God we are equally wise - and equally foolish.

Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

The difference between what the most and the least learned people know is inexpressibly trivial in relation to that which is unknown.

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

Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.

I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.

Imagination is more important than knowledge

It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education

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

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

The important thing is not to stop questioning

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

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

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

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

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

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

You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.

At any rate, I am convinced that He [God] does not play dice.

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