GREAT EINSTEIN QUOTES
G'day folks,
We have all heard of Albert Einstein, but have you read many of his quotes? Look no further ... Courtesy of Spirit Science and Metaphysics
1. “Imagination is more important than knowledge.
For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world,
stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”
2. “Great spirits have always encountered violent
opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding
the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses
instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.”
3. “I, at any rate, am convinced that He (God) does
not throw dice.”
4. “The important thing is not to stop questioning;
curiosity has its own reason for existing.”
5. “Science without religion is lame, religion
without science is blind.”
6. “Two things are infinite: the universe and human
stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.”
7. “Falling in love is not at all the most stupid
thing that people do— but gravitation cannot be held responsible for it.”
8. “The most beautiful experience we can have is
the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true
art and true science.”
9. “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never
tried anything new.”
10. “Try not to become a man of success, but rather
try to become a man of value”
11. “The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.”
12. “The difference between genius and stupidity is
that genius has its limits.”
13. “Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of
character.”
14. “Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of
logical ideas.”
15. “Nature shows us only the tail of the lion. But
I do not doubt that the lion belongs to it even though he cannot at once reveal
himself because of his enormous size.”
16. “Only a life lived for others is a life
worthwhile.”
17. “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I
stay with problems longer.”
18. “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.”
19. “Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be
achieved by understanding.”
20. “I never think of the future. It comes soon
enough.”
21. “Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics, I can assure you that mine are all greater”
22. “In order to form an immaculate member of a
flock of sheep one must, above all, be a sheep.”
23. “The most incomprehensible thing about the
world is that it is comprehensible.”
24. “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very
persistent one.”
25. “Truth is what stands the test of experience.”
26. “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your
balance you must keep moving”
27. “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over
again and expecting different results.”
28. “Human knowledge and skills alone cannot lead
humanity to a happy and dignified life. Humanity has every reason to place the
proclaimers of high moral standards and values above the discoverers of
objective truth.”
29. “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.”
30. “Common sense is nothing more than a deposit of
prejudices laid down by the mind before you reach eighteen.”
