[Smithsonian, February 1979]

On politics

[Address to Prussian Academy of Science, January 1921]

On humility

“As a human being, one has been endowed with just enough intelligence to be able to see clearly how utterly inadequate that intelligence is when confronted with what exists.”
[Letter to Queen Elisabeth of Belgium, September 1932]

On relativity

On relativity

“When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute — and it’s longer than any hour. That’s relativity.”
[“The Yale Book of Quotations”]

On his growth

On his growth

[Letter, 1954]

On common sense

[“The Universe and Dr. Einstein”]

On nationalism

[“Albert Einstein, the Human Side”]

On mystery

[“The World As I See It,” 1930]

On solitude

On solitude

“My passionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct contact with other human beings and human communities. I am truly a ‘lone traveler’ and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart; in the face of all these ties, I have never lost a sense of distance and a need for solitude.”
[“The World As I See It,” 1930]

On presentation

[Smithsonian, February 1979]

On motivation

“The ideals that have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. Without the sense of kinship with men of like mind, without the occupation with the objective world, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific endeavors, life would have seemed empty to me. The trite objects of human efforts — possessions, outward success, luxury — have always seemed to me contemptible.”
[“The World As I See It,” 1930]

On education

On education

“The aim [of education] must be the training of independently acting and thinking individuals who, however, see in the service to the community their highest life problem.”

On thinking

On thinking

“I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express in words afterwards.”
[“Productive Thinking,” 1959]

On life

On life

“A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future.”
[Smithsonian, February 1979]

On curiosity

On curiosity

“The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”
[Nova]

On work ethic

“The state of mind which enables a man to do work of this kind … is akin to that of the religious worshipper or the lover; the daily effort comes from no deliberate intention or program, but straight from the heart.”
[Speech, 1918]

On childhood

On childhood

“The ordinary adult never gives a thought to space-time problems … I, on the contrary, developed so slowly that I did not begin to wonder about space and time until I was an adult. I then delved more deeply into the problem than any other adult or child would have done.”

On the role of science

On the role of science

“One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike — and yet it is the most precious thing we have.”
