Quotes - Albert Einstein

It is almost a miracle that modern teaching methods
have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiousity
of inquiry; for what this delicate little plant needs
more than anything, besides stimulation, is freedom
- Albert Einstein

Anyone who has never made a mistake
has never tried anything new.
- Albert Einstein

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe,
a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself,
his thoughts and feeling as something separated 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 enhance all living
creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
- Albert Einstein

"Only two things are infinite,
the universe and human stupidity,
and I'm not sure about the former."
- Albert 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."
- Albert Einstein

"If the facts don't fit the
theory, change the facts."
- Albert Einstein
