Albert Einstein

It is my fate to be considered an authority, since I spent my youth rebelling against it.

Albert Einstein

It is my inner conviction that the development of science seeks in the main to satisfy the longing for pure knowledge.

Albert Einstein

It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living, by its purely physical effect on the human temperament, would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind.

Albert Einstein

It is not a lack of real affection that scares me away again and again from marriage. Is it a fear of the comfortable life, of nice furniture, of dishonor that I burden myself with, or even the fear of becoming a contented bourgeois.

Albert Einstein

It is not by sitting still at a grand distance and calling the human race larvae that men are to be helped.

Albert Einstein

It is not so important where one settles down. The best thing is to follow your instincts without too much reflection.

Albert Einstein

It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.

Albert Einstein

It is nothing short of a miracle that modern methods of teaching have not yet entirely strangled that sacred spirit of curiosity and inquiry, for this delicate plant needs freedom no less than stimulation.

Albert Einstein

It is only men who are free, who create the inventions and intellectual works which to us moderns make life worth while.

Albert Einstein

It is only to the individual that a soul is given. And the high destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule, or to impose himself in any other way.
