Einstein Said that

“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

“The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination, logic will get you from A to Z; imagination will get you everywhere.”

“I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details.”

“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.”

“Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.”

“I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.”

“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 feelings 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 embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

“Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.”

“Solitude is painful when one is young, but delightful when one is more mature.”

“With fame, I become more and more stupid, which of course is a very common phenomenon.”

“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”

“Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.”

“The value of a man resides in what he gives, and not in what he is capable of receiving.”

“Learn from yesterday, live for today, and hope for tomorrow. The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.” 

“Never cease to stand like curious.”

“The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.” 

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” 

 “The world as we have created it s a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”  “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
