Albert Einstein

A life directed chiefly toward the fulfillment of personal desires will sooner or later always lead to bitter disappointment.

Albert Einstein

A man has to work so hard so that something of his personality stays alive. A tomcat has it so easy, he has only to spray and his presence is there for years on rainy days.

Albert Einstein

A man who is convinced of the truth of his religion is indeed never tolerant. At the least, he is to feel pity for the adherent of another religion but usually it does not stop there. The faithful adherent of a religion will try first of all to convince those that believe in another religion and usually he goes on to hatred if he is not successful. However, hatred then leads to persecution when the might of the majority is behind it.

Albert Einstein

A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hopes of reward after death.

Albert Einstein

A man’s moral worth is not measured by what his religious beliefs are but rather by what emotional impulses he has received from nature during his lifetime.

Albert Einstein

A man’s value to the community depends primarily on how far his feelings, thoughts, and actions are directed towards promoting the good of his fellows.

Albert Einstein

A permanent peace cannot be prepared by threats but only by the honest attempt to create a mutual trust. However strong national armaments may be, they do not create military security for any nation nor do they guarantee the maintenance of peace.

Albert Einstein

A practical profession is a salvation for a man of my type; an academic career compels a young man to scientific production and only strong characters can resist the temptation of superficial analysis.

Albert Einstein

A scientist is a mimosa when he himself has made a mistake, and a roaring lion when he discovers a mistake of others.

Albert Einstein

A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin what else does a man need to be happy?
