Albert Einstein

An empty stomach is not a good political adviser.

God may be subtle, but he isn't plain mean.

Morality is of the highest importance - but for us, not for God.

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

I shall never believe that God plays dice with the world.

I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil.

God does not play dice.

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.

When the solution is simple, God is answering.

The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.

I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.

When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.

If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.

God always takes the simplest way.

That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.

It was the experience of mystery - even if mixed with fear - that engendered religion.

The only source of knowledge is experience.

Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.

The environment is everything that isn't me.

It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.
