  1. Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
    Science, Philosophy and Religion: a Symposium (1941) ch. 13
  2. 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.
  3. E = mc2.
    the usual form of Einstein's original statement: ‘If a body releases the energy L in the form of radiation, its mass is decreased by L/V2’
  4. God is subtle but he is not malicious.
    remark made during a week at Princeton beginning 9 May 1921, later carved above the fireplace of the Common Room of Fine Hall (the Mathematical Institute), Princeton University
  5. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.
    in 1921; Philipp Frank Einstein: His Life and Times (1947)
  6. At any rate, I am convinced that He [God] does not play dice.
    letter to Max Born, 4 December 1926
  7. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
  8. If my theory of relativity is proven correct, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.
    address at the Sorbonne, Paris, possibly early December 1929, in New York Times 16 February 1930
  9. Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.

    letter to Queen Elisabeth of Belgium, 19 September 1932
  13. It can scarcely be denied that the supreme goal of all theory is to make the irreducible basic elements as simple and as few as possible without having to surrender the adequate representation of a single datum of experience.
    often quoted as ‘Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler’
    ‘On the Method of Theoretical Physics’, lecture delivered at Oxford, 10 June 1933

    in Franklin Institute Journal March 1936 ‘Physics and Reality’
  15. Some recent work by E. Fermi and L. Szilard, which has been communicated to me in manuscript, leads me to expect that the element uranium may be turned into a new and important source of energy in the immediate future.

    Paul Schilpp Albert Einstein: Philosopher-Scientist (1949) ‘Autobiographical Notes’
  19. If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.
  20. Common sense is nothing more than a deposit of prejudices laid down in the mind before you reach eighteen.
    Lincoln Barnett The Universe and Dr Einstein (1950 ed.)
  21. The grand aim of all science [is] to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest possible number of hypotheses or axioms.
    Lincoln Barnett The Universe and Dr Einstein (1950 ed.)
  22. I think that only daring speculation can lead us further and not accumulation of facts.
  23. If I would be a young man again and had to decide how to make my living, I would not try to become a scientist or scholar or teacher. I would rather choose to be a plumber or a peddler in the hope to find that modest degree of independence still available under present circumstances.
    in Reporter 18 November 1954
  24. The distinction between past, present and future is only an illusion, however persistent.
  25. Nationalism is an infantile sickness. It is the measles of the human race.
    Helen Dukas and Banesh Hoffman Albert Einstein, the Human Side (1979)

Autobiographical Notes

THE WORLD AS I SEE IT Albert Einstein PREFACE TO ORIGINAL EDITION Only individuals have a sense of responsibility.Nietzsche This book does not represent a complete collection of the articles, addresses, and pronouncements of Albert Einstein; it is a selection made with a definite object- namely, to give a picture of a man.

Albert Einstein
Translated and edited by Paul Arthur Schilpp

'Here I sit in order to write, at the age of sixty-seven, something like my own obituary. . . .'

'When I was a fairly precocious young man I became thoroughly impressed with the futility of hopes and strivings that chase most men restlessly through life. Moreover, I soon discovered the cruelty of that chase, which in those years was much more carefully covered up by hypocrisy and glittering words than is the case today. . . . As the first way out there was religion, which is implanted into every child by way of the traditional education-machine. Thus I came—though the child of entirely irreligious (Jewish) parents—to a deep religiousness, which, however, reached an abrupt end at the age of twelve. Through the reading of popular scientific books I soon reached the conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true. The consequence was a positively fanatic orgy of freethinking coupled with the impression that youth is intentionally being deceived by the state through lies; it was a crushing impression. . . .'

Delivered with warmth, clarity, and humor, this brief work is the closest Einstein ever came to writing an autobiography. Although a very personal account, it is purely concerned with the development of his ideas, saying little about his private life or about the world-shaking events through which he lived.

Starting from little Albert's early disillusionment with religion and his intense fascination with geometry, the narrative presents Einstein's 'epistemological credo,' then moves through his dissatisfaction with the foundations of Newtonian physics to the development of his own special and general theories of relativity, and his opposition to some of the assumptions of quantum theory.

This moving 'scientific self-portrait' first appeared in Albert Einstein: Philosopher-Scientist(Volume VII in the Library of Living Philosophers). The English translation, by Paul Arthur Schilpp, was revised for this edition.

This book contains Einstein's original German text, with Schilpp's English translation on facing pages.
