"It is best, it seems to me, to separate one's inner striving from one's trade as far as possible. It is not good when one's daily break is tied to God's special blessing." -- Albert Einstein
"It may affront the military-minded person to suggest a reqime that does not maintain any military secrets." -- Albert Einstein

"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned
my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, scince for him
the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should
be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable
love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despiceable an
ignoreable war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so
base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war
is nothing but an act of murder." -- Albert Einstein
"As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."--Albert Einstein
Imagination is more important than knowledge. -- Albert Einstein
Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing. -- Albert Einstein
"If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research,
would it?"

Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio, replied:
"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull
his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand
this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they
receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
God doesn't play dice.

God may be subtle, but He isn't plain mean. -- Albert Einstein
"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." -- Albert Einstein

"If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts." --Albert Einstein
"I never think of the future. It comes soon enough." --Albert Einstein

"Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish." --Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
"The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible." --Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
"The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one." --Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
"You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war." --Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." --A. Einstein
"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence." --Einstein, Albert
"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death." --Einstein, Albert
"What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world." --Albert Einstein
"If one studies too zealously, one easily loses his pants." --Albert Einstein
Through the release of atomic energy, our generation has brought into
the world the most revolutionary force since prehistoric man's discovery
of fire. This basic force of the universe cannot be fitted into the outmoded
concept of narrow nationalisms.
For there is no secret and there is no defense; there is no possibility
of control except through the aroused understanding and insistence of the
peoples of the world. We scientists recognise our inescapable responsibility
to carry to our fellow citizens an understanding of atomic energy and its
implication for society. In this lies our only security and our only hope
- we believe that an informed citizenry will act for life and not for death.
A. Einstein, 1947 d.C.
