                      EINSTEIN  QUOTATIONS  v 2.O

==========================================================================


                 There's a wonderful family named Stein,
                 There's Ep, there's Gert, and there's Ein.
                 Ep's statues are junk,
                 Gert's poems are bunk,
                 And nobody understands Ein.

"Gravitation can not be held responsible for people falling in love"


"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"


"Watch the stars, and from them learn.  To the Master's honor all
must turn, each in its track, without a sound, forever tracing
Newton's ground."
               --Albert Einstein, translation by Dave Fredrick


"Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler."


When asked how World War III would be fought, Einstein replied that
he didn't know. But he knew how World War IV would be fought: With
sticks and stones!


"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an
 hour.  Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a
 minute.  THAT'S relativity."


"Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing."


Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) *
Science without religion is lame, religion without science is
blind.
_Science, Philosophy and Religion: a Symposium_ (1941) ch. 13


God does not play dice with the universe.


Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age 18.


"Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival
 of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet"


"Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that
 created them."
                                        - Albert Einstein


Einstein was attending a music salon in Germany before the second
world war, with the violinist S. Suzuki.  Two Japanese women played
a German piece of music and a woman in the audience excaimed:  "How
wonderful!  It sounds so German!"  Einstein responded:  "Madam,
people are all the same."


This is a story I heard as a freshman at the University of Utah when
Dr.  Henry Eyring was still teaching chemistry there.  Many years
before he and Dr. Einstein were colleagues.  As they walked together
they noted an unusual plant growing along a garden walk.  Dr. Eyring
asked Dr. Einstein if he knew what the plant was.  Einstein did not,
and together they consulted a gardener.  The gardener indicated the
plant was green beans and forever afterwards Eyring said Einstein
didn't know beans <g>.  I heard this second hand and I don't know if
the story has ever been published...
                                            -S K Franz-


Einstein, Albert (1879-1955)
If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician.  I often
think in music.  I live my daydreams in music.  I see my life in
terms of music. ...  I get most joy in life out of music.

  ``What Life Means to Einstein: An Interview by George Sylvester
    Viereck,'' for the October 26, 1929 issue of _The Saturday
    Evening Post_.

[ If anyone has any information on George Sylvester Viereck, who
coauthored ``Autobiography of the Wandering Jew'' and was an
America-Firster (at least before Pearl Harbor) please post.  He
seems a interesting character.  I recommend the _Saturday Evening
Post_ article referenced above for other Einstein quotes. ]


Einstein, Albert (1879-1955)
I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.  Knowledge is limited.
Imagination encircles the world.

 ``What Life Means to Einstein: An Interview by George Sylvester
   Viereck,'' for the October 26, 1929 issue of _The Saturday
   Evening Post_.


Einstein, Albert (1879-1955)
Man tries to make for himself in the fashion that suits him best a
simplified and intelligible picture of the world; he then tries to
some extent to substitute this cosmos of his for the world of
experience, and thus to overcome it.  This is what the painter, the
poet, the speculative philosopher, and the natural scientists do,
each in his own fashion.  Each makes this cosmos and its
construction the pivot of his emotional life, in order to find in
this way peace and security which he can not find in the narrow
whirlpool of personal experience.

   _Ideas and Opinions_, (Dell, Pinebrook, N.J., 1954).


"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already
 earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake,
 since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace
 to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at
 command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance,
 how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I
 would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action!
 It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing
 but an act of murder."

Einstein, Albert (1879-1955)
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.  It
is the source of all true art and science.
- Quoted on pg. 289 of _Adventures of a Mathematician_, by S. M. 
Ulam (Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1976).  Apparently these 
words also occur somewhere in _What I Believe_ (1930).  



"The only source of knowledge is experience" 


" I want to know God's thought,..... the rest are details.."

                                        - A. Einstein


" The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. The religion 
which based on experience, which refuses dogmatic. If there's any 
religion that would cope the scientific needs it will be 
Buddhism...." 
                                       - A. Einstein


Nationalism is an infantile sickness.  It is the measles of the 
human race.  - Albert Einstein 



When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the 
conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any 
talent for abstract, positive thinking .- Albert Einstein

As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not 
certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to 
reality.  -- Albert Einstein 


"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" 
                                     - Albert Einstein (?)


The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday
thinking.


"The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once."  


   "All our lauded technological progress -- our very civilization -
- is like the axe in the hand of the pathological criminal." 


I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, 
or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves.  
An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond 
my comprehension,... ; such notions are for the fears or absurd 
egoism of feeble souls.  


"My life is a simple thing that would interest no one. It is a known 
fact that I was born and that is all that is necessary." 


"I never think of the future. It comes soon enough."


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.  


The wireless telegraph is not difficult to understand. The ordinary 
telegraph is like a very long cat. You pull the tail in New York, 
and it meows in Los Angeles. The wireless is the same, only without 
the cat.  
          - Albert Einstein


The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is 
comprehensible.  
         --Albert Einstein.


"Too many of us look upon Americans as dollar chasers.  This is a 
cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans 
themselves." (1929) 


"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." 


"If we knew what it was we were doing,
 it would not be called research, would it?".   --   A.Einstein


A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man 
need to be happy.  


   "Politics is a pendulum whose swings between anarchy and tyranny 
are fueled by perpetually rejuvenated illusions." 


   "All our lauded technological progress -- our very civilization -
- is like the axe in the hand of the pathological criminal." 


"Force always attracts men of low morality, and I believe it to be 
an invariable rule that tyrants of genius are succeeded by 
scoundrels." 


"It is only to the individual that a soul is given."

  
"In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep, one must 
above all be a sheep oneself." 


"If A equals success, then the formula is: A=X+Y+Z. X is work. Y is 
play. Z is keep your mouth shut." 


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.  


Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to 
learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the 
spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community 
to which your later work belongs.  


We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of 
course, powerful muscles, but no personality.  


Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its 
creative pursuits.  Any man who read too much and uses his own brain 
too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.  


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


If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.


Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which 
differ from the prejudices of their social environment.  Most people 
are even incapable of forming such opinions.  - Albert Einstein


What is inconceivable about the universe is that it is at all 
conceivable.  


A human being is part of a whole, called by us the "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 us.  Our task must be to free 
ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to 
embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.  


Nor do I take into account a danger of starting a chain reaction of 
a scope great enough to destroy part or all of the planet...But it 
is not necessary to imagine the earth being destroyed like a nova by 
a stellar explosion to understand vividly the growing scope of 
atomic war and to recognize that unless another war is prevented it 
is likely to bring destruction on a scale never before held 
possible, and even now hardly conceived, and that little 
civilization would survive it.  
   --Albert Einstein (1947)


Unless Americans come to realize that they are not stronger in the 
world because they have the bomb but weaker because of their 
vulnerability to atomic attack, they are not likely to conduct their 
policy at Lake Success [the United Nations] or in their relations 
with Russia in a spirit that furthers the arrival at an 
understanding.  
   --Albert Einstein (1947)


The discovery of nuclear chain reactions need not bring about the 
destruction of mankind any more than did the discovery of matches.  
We only must do everything in our power to safeguard against its 
abuse.  Only a supranational organization, equipped with a 
sufficiently strong executive power, can protect us.  
   --Albert Einstein (1953) 


Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and 
i'm not sure about the former.  


Perfections of mean and confusion of goals seem -in my opinion- to 
characterize our age.  


The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there`s 
no risk of accident for someone who's dead.  


The real problem is in the hearts and minds of men.  It is easier to 
denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man.               
- Albert Einstein
Quoted in: Freeman Dyson, Disturbing the Universe, ch. 5 (1979).


The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe.  We are like 
a little child entering a huge library.  The walls are covered to 
the ceilings with books in many different tongues.  The child knows 
that someone must have written these books.  It does not know who or 
how.  It does not understand the languages in which they are 
written.  But the child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of 
the books---a mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but 
only dimly suspects.  

--- Einstein


The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.  He to 
whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand 
rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.  

        ALBERT EINSTEIN (1879-1955)



"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a 
faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant 
and has forgotten the gift."  - Albert Einstein


The school has always been the most important means of transferring 
the wealth of tradition from one generation to the next. This 
applies today in an even higher degree than in former times, for 
through modern development of economic life, the family as bearer of 
tradition and education has become weakened.The continuance and 
health of human society is therefore in a still higher degree 
dependent on schoolthan formally.  

-- Albert Einstein,_ New York Times_, October 16, 1936


The point is to develop the childlike inclination for play and the 
childlike desire for recognition and to guide the child over to 
important fields for society.  Such a school demands from the 
teacher that he be a kind of artist in his province.  

-- Albert Einstein,_Out of My Later Years_ 


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, _Ideas and Opinions_


Desire for approval and recognition is a healthy motive, but the 
desire to be acknowledged as better, stronger or more intelligent 
than a fellow being or fellow scholar easily leads to an excessively 
egoistic psychological adjustment, which may become injurious for 
the individual and for the community.  

----Albert Einstein,"On Education," Address to the State University 
of New York at Albany, in _Ideas and Opinions_ 


One should guard against preaching to young people success in the 
customary form as the main aim in life.The most important motive for 
work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its 
result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the 
community.  

----Albert Einstein,"On Education"


With the affairs of active human beings it is different.  Here 
knowledge of truth alone does not suffice; on the contrary this 
knowledge must continually be renewed by ceaseless effort, if it is 
not to be lost.  It resembles a statue of marble which stands in the 
desert and is continuously threatened with burial by the shifting 
sands. The hands of science must ever be at work in order that the 
marble column continue everlastingly to shine in the sun.  To those 
serving hands mine also belong.  

--Albert Einstein,"On Education," Address to the State University of 
New York at Albany, in _Ideas and Opinions_, NY, 1954 


Strange is our situation here upon earth.


The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with the
joy of living are goodness, beauty, and truth. To make a goal of
comfort or happiness has never appealed to me; a system of ethics
built on this basis would be sufficient only for a herd of cattle.
      -Albert Einstein


Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.
                                   - Albert Einstein    


Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained
through understanding.


When the solution is simple, God is answering.
