I claim credit for nothing. Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible player.
Albert Einstein -
People love chopping wood. In this activity one immediately sees results.
Albert Einstein -
I think that only daring speculation can lead us further and not accumulation of facts.

To me the worst thing seems to be a school principally to work with methods of fear, force and artificial authority. Such treatment destroys the sound sentiments, the sincerity and the self-confidence of pupils and produces a subservient subject.
Albert Einstein -
Mere thinking cannot reveal to us the highest purpose.
Albert Einstein -
We cannot resolve the problems of the world by unsing the same techniques that have created them.
Albert Einstein -
The life of the individual has meaning only insofar as it aids in making the life of every living thing nobler and more beautiful. Life is sacred, that is to say, it is the supreme value, to which all other values are subordinate.
Albert Einstein -
Most people stop looking when they find the proverbial needle in the haystack. I would continue looking to see if there were other needles.
Albert Einstein -
Without "ethical culture", there is no salvation for humanity.
Albert Einstein

Academic chairs are many, but wise and noble teachers are few; lecture-rooms are numerous and large, but the number of young people who genuinely thirst after truth and justice is small.
Albert Einstein -
I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this is a somewhat new kind of religion.
