"The content of scientific theory itself offers..." - Quote by Albert Einstein

“To see with one's own eyes, to feel and judge without succumbing to the suggestive power of the fashion of the day, to be able to express what one has seen and felt in a snappy sentence or even in a cunningly wrought word - is that not glorious? Is it not a proper subject for congregation?”

“I owe as much of my success to an uncompromising obstinacy as to any original ideas.”

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

“All these constructions and the laws connecting them can be arrived at by the principle of looking for the mathematically simplest concepts and the link between them.”

“Mathematics are well and good but Nature keeps dragging us around by the nose.”

“Astronomy is a cold, desert science, with all its pompous figures,-depends a little too much on the glass-grinder, too little on the mind. 'T is of no use to show us more planets and systems. We know already what matter is, and more or less of it does not signify.”

“Let us be moral. Let us contemplate existence.”

“It is goodness that gives to a neighborhood its beauty. One who is free to choose, yet does not prefer to dwell among the good - how can he be accorded the name of wise?”

“I would bear any affliction rather than be burdened with a guilty conscience.”
