Some of my favorite quotes of Einstein


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

"I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details."

"A person starts to live when he can live outside himself."

"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."

"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen."

"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."

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about  the universe."

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

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

I don’t believe in what I am doing. Hence I don’t know what I want. I don’t have any vision of what my future should be like. I don’t aspire to be any one. I would love to see myself being interviewed on TV. But in that progr...
