Best quotes about life
Generations to come will find it difficult to believe that a man such as Gandhi ever walked the face of this earth.
Imagination is more important than knowledge, for knowledge is limited while imagination embraces the entire world.
If my theory of relativity is proven successful,
Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue,
France will say that I am a German and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.
A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.
A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.
He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. His eyes are closed.
Written in old age: I have never belonged wholeheartedly to a country, a state, nor to a circle of friends, nor even to my own family. When I was still a rather precocious young man,
I already realized most vividly the futility of the hopes and aspirations that most men pursue throughout their lives. Well-being and happiness never appeared to me as an absolute aim. I am even inclined to compare such moral aims to the ambitions of a pig.
How despicable and ignoble war is. I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.
All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual.
Only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe.
All these constructions and the laws connecting them can be arrived at by the principle of looking for the mathematically simplest concepts and the link between them.
If A equal success, then the formula is A equals X plus Y and Z, with X being work,
Y play, and Z keeping your mouth shut.
Of what significance is one's existence, one is basically unaware. What does a fish know about the water in which he swims all his life? The bitter and the sweet come from outside. The hard from within, from one's own efforts. For the most part I do what my own nature drives me to do. It is embarrassing to earn such respect and love for it.
Where the world ceases to be the scene of our personal hopes and wishes, where we face it as free beings admiring, asking and observing, there we enter the realm of Art and Science.
The mere formulation of a problem is far more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skills. To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle requires creative imagination and marks real advances in science.
Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.
It gives me great pleasure indeed to see the stubbornness of an incorrigible nonconformist warmly acclaimed.
It is not enough that you should understand about applied science in order that your work may increase man's blessings. Concern for the man himself and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors. Concern for the great unsolved problems of the organization of labor and the distribution of goods in order that the creations of our mind shall be a blessing and not a curse to mankind. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations.
The distinctions separating the social classes are false. In the last analysis they rest on force.
The crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his future career.
The world is a dangerous place. Not because of the people who are evil. But because of the people who don't do anything about it.
Although words exist for the most part for the transmission of ideas, there are some which produce such violent disturbance in our feelings that the role they play in the transmission of ideas is lost in the background.
How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will.
