My Favorite quotes by Albert Einstein
True
religion is real living; living with all one’s soul, with all one’s goodness
and righteousness.
I
am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more
important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the
world.
I
never think of the future. It comes soon enough.
Only a life lived for others is a life worth while.
A
man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and
social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way
if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after
death.
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.
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.
The
most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of
all true art and science.
The world is a dangerous place, not
because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.
A WISE MAN
Years ago someone told me this story.
A reporter interviewed Albert Einstein. At the end
of the interview, the reporter asked if he could have Einstein's phone number
so he could call if he had further questions.
“Certainly” replied Einstein. He picked up the
phone directory and looked up his phone number, then wrote it on a slip of
paper and handed it to the reporter.
Dumbfounded, the reporter said, "You are
considered to be the smartest man in the world and you can't remember your own
phone number?”
Einstein replied, “Why should I memorize something
when I know where to find it?”
