Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish

Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the Gods

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious; It is the source of all true art and science

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

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

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to enhance all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty

I never think of the future - it comes soon enough

The important thing is not to stop questioning

The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.

The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.

The mere formulation of a problem is far more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skills. To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle requires creative imagination and marks real advances in science.

The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.

Imagination is more important than knowledge, for knowledge is limited while imagination embraces the entire world.

If I had only known. I would have become a locksmith.

The important thing is not to stop questioning.

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.

We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it.

What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight - it's the size of the fight in the dog. Americans, indeed all freemen, remember that in the final choice, a soldier's pack is not so heavy a burden as a

prisoner's chains.

I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of their way and let

them have it.

Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.

What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight; it's the size of the fight in the dog.

The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common.

Every man I meet is in some way my superior.

Patience and fortitude conquer all things.

A man is known by the books he reads.
