Albert Einstein Nature Quotations

We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.

Joy in looking and comprehending is nature's most beautiful gift.

We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.

one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science isescape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopelessdreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. Afinely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into theworld of objective perception and thought.

Our task must be to free ourselves...by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.

It is an outcome of faith that nature-as she is perceptible to our five senses-takes the character of such a well formulated puzzle.

Nature conceals her secrets because she is sublime, not because she is a trickster.

Nature shows us only the tail of the lion. But there is no doubt in my mind that the lion belongs with it even if he cannot reveal himself to the eye all at once because of his huge dimension.

The wonder of nature does not become smaller because one cannot measure it by the standards of human moral and human aims.

We experience ourselves our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of 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.

He who finds a thought that lets us a little deeper into the eternal mystery of nature has been granted great peace.

To be sure, it is not the fruits of scientific research that elevate a man and enrich his nature, but the urge to understand, the intellectual work, creative or receptive.

Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.
