[Kepler] had to realize clearly that logical-mathematical theoretizing, no matter how lucid, could not guarantee truth by itself; that the most beautiful… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice tells me that this is not yet the real thing. The theory says… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
When the Special Theory of Relativity began to germinate in me, I was visited by all sorts of nervous conflicts... I used… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
No matter how we may single out a complex from nature...its theoretical treatment will never prove to be ultimately conclusive... I believe… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
We can invent as many theories we like, and any one of them can be made to fit the facts. But that… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
However we select from nature a complex [of phenomena] using the criterion of simplicity, in no case will its theoretical treatment turn… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
From a certain temperature on, the molecules 'condense' without attractive forces; that is, they accumulate at zero velocity. The theory is pretty,… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
No one must think that Newton’s great creation can be overthrown in any real sense by this [Theory of Relativity] or by… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
I believe that I have really found the relationship between gravitation and electricity, assuming that the Miller experiments are based on a… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor. On being reproached that his formula of gravitation was… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
... on principle, it is quite wrong to try founding a theory on observable magnitudes alone. In reality the very opposite happens.… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
Creating a new theory is not like destroying an old barn and erecting a skyscraper in its place. It is rather like… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
Einstein didn't speak until he was four, leading most of his teachers to believe he was crazy. That is until he whipped… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
It is difficult even to attach a precise meaning to the term "scientific truth." So different is the meaning of the word… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
For every one billion particles of antimatter there were one billion and one particles of matter. And when the mutual annihilation was… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
My pacifism is an instinctive feeling, a feeling that possesses me because the murder of men is disgusting. My attitude is not… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
Galileo had already made a significant beginning toward a knowledge of the law of motion. He discovered the law of inertia and… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image

Common sense is nothing more than a deposit of prejudices laid down in the mind before you reach eighteen. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
The most fundamental question we can ever ask ourselves is whether or not the universe we live in is friendly or hostile. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image

Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
The world we have made is a result of the level of thinking we have done thus far. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
Anyone who thinks science is trying to make human life easier or more pleasant is utterly mistaken. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
