"A model should be as simple as..." - Quote by Albert Einstein

“Every kind of peaceful cooperation among men is primarily based on mutual trust and only secondarily on institutions such as courts of justice and police.”

“In my personal experience I have hardly come to know the wretchedness of mankind better than as a result of the general theory of relativity and everything connected to it. But it doesn't bother me.”

“I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life.”

“The desire to explain what is simple by what is complex, what is easy by what is difficult, is a calamity.”

“The most eloquent seems to stutter.”

“Perfection is not when there is no more to add, but no more to take away.”

“A well-educated mind will always have more questions than answers.”

“I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be.”

“I know that previously I would not have dared to express myself so explicitly about so uncertain a matter. I can take this risk because I am now in my eighth decade, and the changing opinions of men scarcely impress me any more; the thoughts of the old masters are of greater value to me than the philosophical prejudices of the Western mind.”
