My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.
Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.
Too many of us look upon Americans as dollar chasers. This is a cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans themselves.
Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever.
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.
Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.
Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.
When you look at yourself from a universal standpoint, something inside always reminds or informs you that there are bigger and better things to worry about.
To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself.
The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.
You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.
If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.
Imagination is more important than knowledge...
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
The important thing is not to stop questioning.
Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.
The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
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.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.
If I had only known, I would have been a locksmith.
The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.
The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible.
The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.
