Albert Einstein

"The individual must not merely wait and criticize, he must defend the cause the best he can. The fate of the world will be such as the world deserves."

"Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value"

"The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination."

"If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal. Not to people or things."

"You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else."

"When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come close to the conclusion that the gift of imagination has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing absolute knowledge"

"All great achievements in science start from intuitive knowledge, namely, in axioms, from which deductions are then made. ' Intuition is the necessary condition for the discovery of such axioms."

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."

"Logic will get you from A-Z. Imagination will take you everywhere."

"Look deep into nature and then you will understand everything better."

"It is a strange thing to be so widely known, and yet to be so lonely."

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we currently know and understand, imagination points to all we might yet discover and create."

"Logic will get you from A to B, imagination will take you everywhere."

"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 and fulfils the duty to express the results of his thoughts in clear form."

"It is also vital to a valuable education that independent critical thinking be developed in the young human being, a development that is greatly jeopardized by overburdening with too much and too varied subjects. Overburdening necessarily leads to superficiality."

"I might not be more skilled than other Scientists & Technologists, but I have the persistence of a mule."

"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning."

"It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer."

"The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge."

"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious."

"I am absolutely convinced that no wealth in the world can help humanity forward, even in the hands of the most devoted worker. The example of great and pure individuals is the only thing that can lead us to noble thoughts and deeds. Money only appeals to selfishness and irresistibly invites abuse. Can anyone imagine Moses, Jesus or Gandhi armed with the moneybags of Carnegie?"

"Knowledge is necessary too. A child with great intuition could not grow up to become something worthwhile in life without some knowledge. However there comes a point in everyone's life where only intuition can make the leap ahead, without knowing precisely how."

"The measure of intelligence is the ability to change."

"Out of clutter find simplicity; From discord find harmony; In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity."

"Knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research."

"Everything that the human race has done and thought is concerned with the satisfaction of deeply felt needs and the assuagement of pain. One has to keep this constantly in mind if one wishes to understand spiritual movements and their development. Feeling and longing are the motive force behind all human endeavour and human creation, in however exalted a guise the latter may present themselves to us."

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."

"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."

"Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either."

"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions."

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity."

"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them."

"A true genius admits that he/she knows nothing."

"Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."

"Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value."

"If I can't picture it, I can't understand it"

"The important thing is not to stop questioning, curiosity has its own reason for existing."

"Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labour in freedom."

"The mind that opens to a new idea never returns to its original size."

"My scientific work is motivated by an irresistible longing to understand the secrets of nature and by no other feelings."

"I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research."

"All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual."
