~ Albert Einstein
Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
~ Albert Einstein
A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
~ Albert Einstein

~ Albert Einstein
I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.
~ Albert Einstein
I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves -- such an ethical basis I call more proper for a herd of swine. The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Truth, Goodness, and Beauty.
~ Albert Einstein

The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.
~ Albert Einstein

~ Albert Einstein

~ Albert Einstein
