<li>A &#8216;miracle&#8217; is commonly considered to be an effect or event without law, or beyond law.</li>
<li>A strong determination to be happy will help you. Do not wait for your circumstances to change, thinking falsely that in them lies the trouble. Do not make unhappiness a chronic habit, thereby afflicting yourself and your associates. It is blessedness for yourself and others if you are happy. If you possess happiness you possess everything; to be happy is to be in tune with God. That power to be happy comes through meditation.</li>
<li>Affirm divine calmness and peace, and send out only thoughts of love and goodwill if you want to live in peace and harmony. Never get angry, for anger poisons your system.</li>
<li>All are waves on the same, one ocean, composed, as ocean water is, of the same substance: Spirit. Some of the waves are higher then others. Some waves don&#8217;t even want to distance themselves from the ocean. All waves, no matter how high, are in essence one and the same. The difference between the Guru and the disciples, then, lies only in their respective closeness to the ocean: in how conscious each one is of his essential reality. The greater the sense of ego, the taller the wave, and the greater, in consequence, the ignorance. The greater one&#8217;s awareness of the ocean as one&#8217;s soul reality, the smaller the wave, and also the less his sense of having a separate individuality.</li>
<li>All successful men and women devote much time to deep concentration. They are able to dive deeply within their minds and to find the pearls of right solutions for the problems that confront them.</li>
<li><strong>Always remember, nothing can touch you if you inwardly love God.</strong></li>
<li>An artist doesn&#8217;t really create anything &#8211; he just rearranges what is already there.</li>
<li><strong>Analyze yourself. All emotions are reflected in the body and mind. Envy and fear cause the face to pale, love makes it glow.</strong></li>
<li>As God is omnipresent in the cosmos but is undisturbed by its variety, so man, who as a soul is individualized Spirit, must learn to participate in this cosmic drama with a perfectly poised and equilibrated mind.</li>
<li>As God talked with Arjuna, so will He talk with you. As He lifted up the spirit and consciousness of Arjuna, so will He uplift you. As he granted Arjuna supreme spiritual vision, so will He confer enlightenment on you.</li>
<li>Be afraid of nothing. Hating none, giving love to all, feeling the love of God, seeing His presence in everyone, and having but one desire &#8211; for His constant presence in the temple of your consciousness &#8211; that is the way to live in this world.</li>
<li><strong>Be as simple as you can be; you will be astonished to see how uncomplicated and happy your life can become.</strong></li>
<li>Be careful what you choose to do consciously, for unless your will is very strong, that is what you may have to do repeatedly and compulsively through the habit-influencing power of the subconscious mind.</li>
<li>Before embarking on important undertakings sit quietly calm your senses and thoughts and meditate deeply. You will then be guided by the great creative power of Spirit.</li>
<li>Build your inner environment. Practice Silence! I remember thewonderful discipline of the Great Ones. When we used to talk andchatter, they would say: &#8220;Go back into your inner castle.&#8221; It wasvery hard to comprehend then, but now I understand the way of peace</li>
<li>Consider no one a stranger.Learn to feel that everybody is akin to you.</li>
<li>Consider whether fulfillment of the goal you have chosen will constitute success. What is success? If you possess health and wealth, but have trouble with everybody (including yourself), yours is not a successful life. Existence becomes futile if you cannot find happiness. When wealth is lost, you have lost a little; when health is lost, you have lost something of more consequence; but when peace of mind is lost, you have lost the highest treasure.</li>
<li>Conserve the vital energy, follow a balanced diet, and always smile and be happy. He who finds joy within himself discovers that his body is charged with electric current, life energy, not from food but from God. If you feel that you can&#8217;t smile, stand before a mirror and with your fingers pull your mouth into a smile. It is that important!</li>
<li>Each tomorrow I will meditate more deeply than today. I will meditate during most of my leisure hours.</li>
<li><strong>Environment is stronger than will power. If you want to be spiritual, seek good company and don’t mix with those whose bad habits may wrongly influence you. Be always with people who inspire you; surround yourself with people who lift you up.</strong></li>
<li>Ever-new Joy is God. He is inexhaustible; as you continue your meditations during the years, He will beguile you with an infinite ingenuity. Devotees like yourself who have found the way to God never dream of exchanging Him for any other happiness; He is seductive beyond thought of competition.</li>
<li>Every morning I offer my body, my mind and any ability that I posses, to be used by Thee, O infinite creator, in whatever way Thou dost choose to express Thyself through me. I know that all work is Thy work, and that no task is too difficult or too menial when offered to Thee in loving service.</li>
<li><strong>Every tomorrow is determined by every today.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Everyone should learn to analyze himself dispassionately. Write down your thoughts and aspirations daily. Find out what you are &#8212; not what you imagine you are! &#8212; because you want to make yourself what you ought to be. Most people don&#8217;t change because they don&#8217;t see their own faults.</strong></li>
<li>Faithfulness in the performance of small duties gives us strength to adhere to difficult determinations that life will someday force us to make.</li>
<li>Fearlessness means faith in God: faith in his protection, His justice, His wisdom, His mercy, His love, and His Omnipresence&#8230; To befit for Self-realization man must be fearless.</li>
<li>First practice the presence of God in daily life by making your meditation very deep. It is better to meditate a little bit with depth than to mediate long with the mind running here and there. If you do not make an effort to control the mind it will go on doing as it pleases, no matter how long you sit to meditate.</li>
<li>Forget the past, for it is gone from your domain! forget the future, for it is beyond your reach! control the present! Live supremely well now! This is the way of the wise.</li>
<li>From the depths of slumber,As I ascend the spiral stairway of wakefulness,I whisper:God! God! God!Thou art the food, and when I break my fastOf nightly separation from Thee,I taste Thee, and mentally say:God! God! God!No matter where I go, the spotlight of my mindEver keeps turning on Thee,And in the battle din of activity my silent war-cry is ever:God! God! God!When boisterous storms of trials shriekAnd worries howl at me,I drown their noises, loudly chanting:God! God! God!When my mind weaves dreamsWith threads of memories,On that magic cloth I do emboss:God! God! God!Every night, in time of deepest sleep,My peace dreams and calls: Joy! Joy! Joy!And my joy comes singing evermore:God! God! God!In waking, eating, working, dreaming, sleeping,Serving, meditating, chanting, divinely loving,My soul constantly hums, unheard by any:God! God! God!</li>
<li><strong>Giving love to all, feeling the love of God, seeing His presence in everyone&#8230; that is the way to live in this world.</strong></li>
<li><strong>God has not be earned. He has only to be sought. Meditation is the only way. Beliefs, reading books — these cannot give you realization. &#8230; Meditation brings proof of the existence of God. &#8230; The more you meditate the more you will feel the endless joy of God.</strong></li>
<li>Habits of thought are mental magnets that draw to you certain things, people, and conditions. Weaken a bad habit by avoiding everything that occasioned it or stimulated it, without concentrating upon it in your zeal to avoid it. Then divert your mind to some good habit and steadily cultivate it until it becomes a dependable part of you.</li>
<li>Happiness depends to some extent upon external conditions, but chiefly upon mental attitudes. In order to be happy one should have good health, a well-balanced mind, a prosperous life, the right work, a thankful heart, and above all, wisdom or knowledge of God.</li>
<li>Harmony with nature will bring you a happiness known to few city dwellers. In the company of other truth seekers it will be easier for you to meditate and think of God.</li>
<li><strong>He is the wisest who seeks God.  He is the most successful who has found God.</strong></li>
<li><strong>He who is persistent will realize God. So try your best to make meditation a regular experience in your life.</strong></li>
<li><strong>He who is wise does his best to overcome difficulties, but he smiles, first, last, and all the time.</strong> There is no better panacea for sorrow, no better revivifying  tonic, than smiles. There is no greater power with which to overcome failure than a real smile. There is no more beautiful ornament one can wear than a genuine smile of peace and wisdom glowing on the face.</li>
<li>I believe that America is a wonderful country in which to try out brotherhood colonies, where in mankind can learn that the first principle of life is happiness.</li>
<li>I could not think of being unkind, even to a mortal enemy. It would hurt me. I see so much unkindness in the world, and there is no excuse for me to add to it. When you love God, and when you see God in every soul, you cannot be mean. If someone behaves hurtfully toward you, think of the best ways to behave lovingly toward him and if he still refuses to be considerate, remain withdrawn for a time, but let no demonstration of unkindness mar your behavior.</li>
<li>I will be calmly active, actively calm. I am a prince of peace, sitting on the throne of poise, directing the kingdom of my activity.</li>
<li>If you are posing as religious and are not living the life as stressed by God, you should wake up. It is wrong to be insincere. The best time to begin a religious life is when you are youthful and well. If you have a short time to live, you must work harder at it. And if you have along time to live, you should not waste that precious opportunity.</li>
<li><strong>If you keep on trying, you will improve. &#8216;A saint is a sinner who never gave up.&#8217;</strong></li>
<li>If you permit your thoughts to dwell on evil you yourself will become ugly. Look only for the good in everything so you absorb the quality of beauty.</li>
<li><strong>If you possess happiness you possess everything:  to be happy is to be in tune with God.</strong></li>
<li><strong>In the state of love, no matter what you do, it’s going to be good.</strong></li>
<li>In this world everyone wants to use us for his own purpose. Only God—and a real master who knows God—can truly love us. The ordinary human being does not know what love is. When somebody gives you pleasure you tend to think you love that person. But in reality it is yourself you love—your ego has been pleased by the other person&#8217;s attention; that is all. Would you go on &#8216;loving&#8217; that person if he should cease to give you pleasure?</li>
<li>In waking, eating, working, dreaming, sleeping, Serving, meditating, chanting, divinely loving, My soul constantly hums, unheard by any, God, God, God</li>
<li>It is better to die struggling than to abandon your efforts while there is still a possibility of accomplishing something more; for even when death comes, your struggles must soon be renewed in another life.</li>
<li><strong>It is blessedness for yourself and others if you are happy.</strong></li>
<li>Just as oil is present in every part of the olive, so love permeates every part of creation.</li>
<li><strong>Kindness is the light that dissolves all walls between souls, families, and nations.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Learn everything about one thing, and something about everything.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Learn to be calm and you will always be happy.</strong></li>
<li>Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.</li>
<li><strong>Live each moment completely and the future will take care of itself. Fully enjoy the wonder and beauty of each moment.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Live quietly in the moment and see the beauty of all before you. The future will take care of itself</strong></li>
<li>Love gives without expecting anything in return. I never think of anyone in terms of what he can do for me. And I never profess love to someone because he has done something for me. If I didn’t actually feel love, I wouldn’t pretend to give it; and since I feel it, I give it. Love cannot be had for the asking; it comes only as a gift from the heart of another. Be certain of your feeling before you say to anyone, &#8216;I love you&#8217;. Once you give your love, it must be forever. Not because you want to be near that person, but because you want perfection for that soul. To wish for perfection for the loved one, and to feel pure joy in thinking of that soul, is divine love; and that is the love of true friendship.</li>
<li>Love is short-lived unless it is divine love. What of all the lovers through the ages who have promised eternal fidelity to one another under the light of the silvery moon. Their skulls are strewn over the earth, and the moon laughs at most of them and says, &#8220;How they lied, for their love has not been forever.&#8221;</li>
<li>Love is the light that dissolves all walls between souls, families and nations.</li>
<li><strong>Love is the song of the soul singing to God.  It is the balanced rhythmic dance of planets &#8211; sun and moon lit</strong></li>
<li><strong>Making others happy, through kindness of speech and sincerity of right advice, is a sign of true greatness. To hurt another soul by sarcastic words, looks, or suggestions, is despicable.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Many people excuse their own faults but judge other persons harshly. We should reverse this attitude by excusing others&#8217; shortcomings and by harshly examining our own.</strong></li>
<li>Many students of yoga perform their exercise in a haphazard way; then wonder why they do not &#8216;get anywhere&#8217; and why they fail to feel communion with the Infinite even after apparently serious meditation.</li>
<li>May the heads of all countries and races beguided to understand that men of all nations arephysically and spiritually one: physically one, be-cause we are the descendants of common parents&#8212; the symbolic Adam and Eve; and spirituallyone, because we are the immortal children of ourFather, bound by eternal links of brotherhood.Let us pray in our hearts for a League of Soulsand a United World. Though we may seemdivided by race, creed, color, class, and political prejudices, still, as children of the one God weare able in our souls to feel brotherhood andworld unity. May we work for the creation of a United World in which every nation will be auseful part, guided by God through man&#8217;s enlightened conscience.In our hearts we can all learn to be free fromhate and selfishness. Let us pray for harmonyamong the nations, that they march hand inhand through the gate of a fair new civilization.</li>
<li><strong>Meditation is the science of reuniting the soul with Spirit. The soul, descending from God into flesh, manifests its consciousness and life force through seven chakras, or centres of light, in man&#8217;s cerebrospinal axis.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Meditation must be practiced every day. Start now! Do not look to the future. Begin this very moment to think of God. In this thought you are a king. Why be a prisoner of mortal moods and habits? To carry out one&#8217;s resolutions is a constant battle. Never give up your good resolutions.</strong></li>
<li>Millions of people never analyze themselves. Mentally they are mechanical products of the factory of their environment, preoccupied with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, working and sleeping, and going here and there to be entertained. They don&#8217;t know what or why they are seeking, nor why they never realize complete happiness and lasting satisfaction. By evading self-analysis, people go on being robots, conditioned by their environment. True self-analysis is the greatest art of progress.</li>
<li><strong>Most of the world is like a mental hospital. Some persons are sick with jealousy, others with anger, hatred, passion. They are victims of their habits and emotions. But you can make your home a place of peace.</strong></li>
<li>Most people consider the course of events as natural and inevitable. They little know what radical change are possible through prayer. Every morning I offer my body, my mind and any ability that I posses, to be used by Thee, O infinite creator, in whatever way Thou dost choose to express Thyself through me. I know that all work is Thy work, and that no task is too difficult or too menial when offered to Thee in loving service.</li>
<li><strong>Most people imitate others. You should be original, and whatever you do, do well.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Most people live on the surface of life. But it is by deep-sea diving in the ocean of thought that you receive the pearls of knowledge.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Never do anything that taints your mind. Wrong actions cause negative or evil mental vibrations that are reflected in your whole appearance and personality. Engage in those actions and thoughts that nurture the good qualities you want to have.</strong></li>
<li>No action is ever an isolated event. Always, it invites from the universe a reaction that corresponds exactly to the type and the force of energy behind the deed.</li>
<li><strong>No matter what you are doing, keep the undercurrent of happiness</strong></li>
<li>Nothing may be truly said to be a &#8216;miracle&#8217; except in the profound sense that everything is a miracle.</li>
<li>Peace is the enjoyment of life, activity is the expression of life. A balance between the activity of the West and the calmness of the East is needed.</li>
<li><strong>People are so skillful in their ignorance!</strong></li>
<li><strong>Persistence guarantees that results are inevitable.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Read a little. Meditate more. Think of God all the time.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Real love is when you are constantly watching the progress of the soul. </strong>As soon as you cater to someone’s physical desires and bad habits you are not loving that soul anymore. You are just pleasing that person to avoid ill will. No matter how unpleasant it is to tell a friend that he is wrong, if you say it with love in your heart and stand firm on it, sometimes that person will respect you if you are right. If you are wrong, even then he will know that you did it with sincerity, out of love.</li>
<li><strong>Recognize the tendencies that make you unique.</strong></li>
<li>Release for constructive purposes the power you already have, and more will come.  Move on your path with unflinching determination, using all the attributes of success.  Tune yourself with the creative power of spirit.</li>
<li>Remain calm, serene, always in command of yourself. You will then find out how easy it is to get along.</li>
<li>Remember this: When I am gone, only love can take my place. Be absorbed night and day in the love of God, and give that love to all.</li>
<li>Sarcasm draws out the rebellious spirit and anger in the wrongdoer.  Loving suggestions bring out the repentence in him.  Repentence consists in thoroughly understanding one&#8217;s own error and in abandoning it.  Friendship is pure by nature.  When you have a lilly in your hands, how can you crush it?  When you love a person dearly, how can you hurt him, even though he may be wrong?  Divine love is unlimited and infinite.  When two or more persons are friends always, no matter what happens, that is an expression of divine love, of divine friendship.</li>
<li><strong>Seclusion is the price of greatness.</strong></li>
<li>Self-realization is the knowing in all parts of body, mind, and soul that you are now in possession of the kingdom of God; that you do not have to pray that it come to you; that God’s omnipresence is your omnipresence; and that all that you need to do is improve your knowing.</li>
<li>Self-realization is, in fact, the only religion. For it is the true purpose of religion, no matter how people define their beliefs.</li>
<li>Sing songs that none have sung</li>
<li><strong>Smiling away your troubles requires a clear conscience that harbor no insincerity.</strong></li>
<li>So long as we believe in our heart of hearts that our capacity is limited and we grow anxious and unhappy, we are lacking in faith. One who truly trusts in God has no right to be anxious about anything.</li>
<li>Spiritual advancement is not to be measured by one&#8217;s display of outward powers, but solely by the depth of his bliss in meditation.</li>
<li>Spiritual success lies in constantly attuning yourself with the Cosmic Mind, and in maintaining your peace and poise no matter what irremediable events occur in your life, such as the death of dear ones, or other sorrowful happenings.</li>
<li><strong>Stillness is the altar of spirit.</strong></li>
<li>Subtle astral colors&#8230; are hidden in everything around you. Could you but see, you would be amazed at their beauty.</li>
<li>Success is hastened or delayed by one’s habits. It is not your passing inspirations or brilliant ideas so much as your everyday mental habits that control your life.</li>
<li>Success is not rightly measured by the worldly standards of wealth, prestige and power.  None of these bestow happiness unless they are rightly used.  To use them rightly one must possess wisdom and love for God and man.</li>
<li>Success should be measured by the yardstick of happiness;  by your ability to remain in peaceful harmony with cosmic laws.</li>
<li>Success or failure is the just result of what you have done in the past, plus what you do now&#8230; You should transfer your attention from failure to success, from worry to calmness, from mental wanderings to concentration, from restlessness to peace, from peace to the divine bliss within.</li>
<li>The entire universe is God&#8217;s cosmic motion picture, and that individuals are merely actors in the divine play who change roles through reincarnation; mankind&#8217;s deep suffering is rooted in identifying too closely with one&#8217;s current role, rather than with the movie&#8217;s director, or God.</li>
<li>The happiness of one&#8217;s own heart alone cannot satisfy the soul; one must try to include, as necessary to one&#8217;s own happiness, the happiness of others.</li>
<li>The inactive man does not do his duty to his Creator or to the society that maintains him. The recluse who devotes his entire life to sincere effort in meditation fulfills part of his duty by trying to find and love God, and thus,spiritualize his own life. To improve oneself is to help society by the example of virtue and by making at least one of its members good!But the yogi (monastic or householder) who does his duty to God, and also to the world through some form of uplifting service, is the most highly evolved type of being. He becomes a master (asiddha) when by such dutiful action he attains the supreme inactive state (nirvikalpa God-union), which is free from karmic effects of actions and is filled with the bliss of Spirit.</li>
<li>The man form is higher than the angel form; of all forms it is the highest. Man is the highest being in creation, because he aspires to freedom.</li>
<li><strong>The power of unfulfilled desires is the root of all man&#8217;s slavery</strong></li>
<li>The scenery of mountains painted on the ever-changing azure canvas of the sky, the mysterious mechanism of the human body, the rose, the green grass carpet, the magnanimity of souls, the loftiness of minds, the depth of love – all these things remind us of a God who is beautiful and noble.</li>
<li>The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success.</li>
<li>The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.</li>
<li>The sincere devotee loves God deeply whether he is nonactive and silently meditating on God, or in the midst of a whirl of outer activities.  He is awake in God during all hours and in all walks of life.  He does not become so deeply engrossed in material duties as to be oblivious to the inner state of divine bliss.</li>
<li>The so-called miraculous powers of a great master are a natural accompaniment to his exact understanding of subtle laws that operate in the inner cosmos of consciousness.</li>
<li>The soul loves to meditate, for in contact with the Spirit lies its greatest joy. If, then you experience mental resistance during meditation, remember that reluctance to meditate comes from the ego; it doesn&#8217;t belong to the soul.</li>
<li>The Spirit of God, I realized, is exhaustless Bliss; His body is countless tissues of light.</li>
<li>The sun shines equally on diamond and charcoal, but the former has developed qualities that enable it to reflect the sunlight brilliantly, while the latter is unable to reflect the sunlight.  Emulate the diamond in your dealings with people.  Brightly reflect the light of God&#8217;s love.</li>
<li>The things you need in life are those that will help you to fulfill your dominant purpose.  Things you may want but not need may lead you aside from that purpose.  It is only by making everything serve your main objective that success is attained.</li>
<li>The true basis of religion is not belief, but intuitive experience. Intuition is the soul’s power of knowing God. To know what religion is really all about, one must know God.</li>
<li>The wave is the same as the ocean, though it is not the whole ocean. So each wave of creation is a part of the eternal Ocean of Spirit. The Ocean can exist without the waves, but the waves cannot exist without the Ocean.</li>
<li>There are always two forces warring against each other within us.</li>
<li>There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first&#8230; when you learn to live for others, they will live for you.</li>
<li>There was in India a devoted husband who loved his wife very deeply. Another man became infatuated with her. She ran away with her lover, who eventually left her without friends or funds. One day her husband came to see her. He spoke gently. ‘Are you through with this experience? Come home with me, if you are.’ She demurred. ‘I could not think of disgracing you further.’ ‘What do I care about the opinion of society?’ he replied. ‘I love you. The other man loved only your body. I love the real you &#8211; your soul. What has happened doesn’t make any difference. That was real love. The husband wasn’t concerned for his honour; he was thinking only of the welfare of his beloved.</li>
<li><strong>Thinkers do not accept the inevitable; they turn their efforts toward changing it.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Those persons who have perceptive eyes enjoy beauty everywhere.</strong></li>
<li>Those who are socially inclined will find a new power to help humanity through the lessons of books written by noble and gifted people.</li>
<li>Those who are unconquered in spirit are the real successes in life. If you can so train or condition your mind that you are content regardless of what you have or do not have, and if you can stand the challenge of all your trials and remain calm-that is true happiness.</li>
<li>To create dynamic will power, determine to do some of the things in life that you thought you could not do. Attempt simple tasks first. As your confidence strengthens and your will becomes more dynamic, you can aim for more difficult accomplishments.</li>
<li>To work with God&#8217;s happiness bubbling in the soul is to carry a portable paradise within you wherever you go.</li>
<li><strong>Truth is exact correspondence with reality.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Truth is One:I have often said that if Jesus, Krishna, Buddha, and other true emissaries of God came together, they would not quarrel, but would drink from the same one cup of God-communion.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Try again, no matter how many times you have failed. Always try once more.</strong></li>
<li>We love because it gives us such intoxicating happiness. So love is not the ultimate; the ultimate is bliss. God is Sat-Chit-Ananda, ever-existing, ever-conscious, ever-new Bliss.</li>
<li>We should bathe our spirits in the deep, pure feeling that stirs within us when we gaze on the glories of His creation. This is the way to know God as beauty.</li>
<li>Weaken a bad habit by avoiding everything that occasioned it or stimulated it, without concentrating upon it in your zeal to avoid it. Then divert your mind to some good habit and steadily cultivate it until it becomes a dependable part of you.</li>
<li>What is meditation? Becoming one with the soul. It means banishing the consciousness of being related to the body and to human limitations, and trying to remember that one is a soul.</li>
<li>When a man in the process of dreaming becomes conscious that he is dreaming, he is no longer identified with the phenomena; he is not affected exultantly or dolefully. God consciously dreams His cosmic play and is unaffected by it&#8217;s dualities. A yogi who perceives his real self as separate from his active senses and their objects never becomes attached to anything. He is aware of the dream nature of the universe and watches it without being entangled in its complex but ephemeral nature.</li>
<li>Wise guidance never violates people&#8217;s Free Will. A superior who demands obedience of his subordinates should show respect for their capacity to understand, and also for their Innate Right to their own Free Will.</li>
<li>Work for god, love god alone, and be wise with god. When an ordinary man puts the necessary rime and enthusiasm into meditation and prayer, he becomes a divine man.</li>
<li>You do not have to struggle to reach God, but you do have to struggle to tear away the self-created veil that hides him from you</li>
<li><strong>You have come to earth to entertain and to be entertained.</strong></li>
<li>You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may learn your livelihood;You may wander through the universe incognito;Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful;You may walk in water and live in fire;But control of the mind is better and more difficult.</li>
<li>You must not let your life run in the ordinary way; do something that nobody else has done, something that will dazzle the world. Show that God&#8217;s creative principle works in you.</li>
<li>You naturally love those who are dear to you, and you must learn to give that kind of love to the whole world.</li>

<li>A policy is a temporary creed liable to be changed, but while it holds good it has got to be pursued with apostolic zeal.</li>
<li>A principle is the expression of perfection, and as imperfect beings like us cannot practice perfection, we devise every moment limits of its compromise in practice.</li>

<li>A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.</li>

<li>All crime is a kind of disease and should be treated as such</li>

<li>Faith&#8230; Must be enforced by reason&#8230;When faith becomes blind it dies</li>
<li><strong>God has no religion</strong></li>
<li>I believe in the fundamental Truth of all the great religions of the world. I believe that they are all God given. I came to the conclusion long ago&#8230; that all religions were true and also that all had some error in them</li>

<li>Just as the body cannot exist without blood, so the soul needs the matchless and pure strength of faith</li>

<li>Whenever you are confronted with an opponent. Conquer him with love.</li>
<li>Whenever you have truth it must be given with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected</li>
<li>You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.</li>
<li>You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result</li>
<li>As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world &#8211; that is the myth of the atomic age &#8211; as in being able to remake ourselves</li>
<li>Be the change that you want to see in the world.</li>
<li>Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.</li>
<li>But for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac.</li>
<li>Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some form or other will always be needed.</li>
<li>Commonsense is the realized sense of proportion.</li>
<li>Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession.</li>
<li>Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.</li>
<li>Culture of the mind must be subservient to the heart.</li>
<li>Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.</li>
<li>Each one prays to God according to his own light.</li>
<li>Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth</li>
<li>Every formula of every religion has in this age of reason, to submit to the acid test of reason and universal assent</li>
<li>Everyone who wills can hear the inner voice. It is within everyone</li>
<li>Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.&#8221;</li>
<li>Fear has its use but cowardice has none.</li>
<li>Fear of death makes us devoid both of valor and religion. For want of valor is want of religious faith.</li>
<li>First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.</li>
<li>For me every ruler is alien that defies public opinion.</li>
<li>Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?</li>
<li>Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err.</li>
<li>Gentleness, self-sacrifice and generosity are the exclusive possession of no one race or religion.</li>
<li>Glory lies in the attempt to reach one&#8217;s goal and not in reaching it.</li>
<li>God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.</li>
<li>God sometimes does try to the uttermost those whom he wishes to bless.</li>
<li>God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us</li>
<li>Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony</li>
<li>Healthy discontent is the prelude to progress.</li>
<li>Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress.</li>
<li>I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill.</li>
<li>I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers.</li>
<li>I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.</li>
<li>I believe that a man is the strongest soldier for daring to die unarmed.</li>
<li>I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.</li>
<li>I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.</li>
<li>I do all the evil I can before I learn to shun it? Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up</li>
<li>I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.</li>
<li>I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul</li>
<li>I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.</li>
<li>I have worshiped woman as the living embodiment of the spirit of service and sacrifice.</li>
<li>I know, to banish anger altogether from one&#8217;s breast is a difficult task. It cannot be achieved through pure personal effort. It can be done only by God&#8217;s grace</li>
<li>I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ</li>
<li>I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won&#8217;t presume to probe into the faults of others.</li>
<li>I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.</li>
<li>I reject any religious doctrine that does not appeal to reason and is in conflict with morality</li>
<li>I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.</li>
<li>I will far rather see the race of man extinct than that we should become less than beasts by making the noblest of God&#8217;s creation, woman, the object of our lust.</li>
<li>I would heartily welcome the union of East and West provided it is not based on brute force.</li>
<li>If co-operation is a duty, I hold that non-co-operation also under certain conditions is equally a duty.</li>
<li>If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide.</li>
<li>If patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm.</li>
<li>If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.</li>
<li>Imitation is the sincerest flattery.</li>
<li>In a gentle way, you can shake the world.</li>
<li>In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place</li>
<li>In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.</li>
<li>Increase of material comforts, it may be generally laid down, does not in any way whatsoever conduce to moral growth.</li>
<li>Infinite striving to be the best is man&#8217;s duty; it is its own reward. Everything else is in God&#8217;s hands</li>
<li>Interdependence is and ought to be as much the ideal of man as self-sufficiency. Man is a social being</li>
<li>Intolerance betrays want of faith in one&#8217;s cause</li>
<li>Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit</li>
<li>Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.</li>
<li>It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honored by the humiliation of their fellow beings.</li>
<li>It is any day better to stand erect with a broken and bandaged head then to crawl on one&#8217;s belly, in order to be able to save one&#8217;s head.</li>
<li>It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.</li>
<li>It is easy enough to be friendly to one&#8217;s friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.</li>
<li>It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.</li>
<li>It is my own firm belief that the strength of the soul grows in proportion as you subdue the flesh.</li>
<li>It is the quality of our work which will please God and not the quantity.</li>
<li>It is unwise to be too sure of one&#8217;s own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err</li>
<li>Just as a man would not cherish living in a body other than his own, so do nations not like to live under other nations, however noble and great the latter may be.</li>
<li>Justice that love gives is a surrender, justice that law gives is a punishment.</li>
<li>Let everyone try and find that as a result of daily prayer he adds something new to his life, something with which nothing can be compared.</li>
<li>Let us all be brave enough to die the death of a martyr, but let no one lust for martyrdom.</li>
<li>Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.</li>
<li>Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men.</li>
<li>Man can never be a woman&#8217;s equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her.</li>
<li>Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants. Man&#8217;s happiness really lies in contentment</li>
<li>Man lives freely only by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him.</li>
<li>Man should forget his anger before he lies down to sleep.</li>
<li>Man&#8217;s nature is not essentially evil. Brute nature has been know to yield to the influence of love. You must never despair of human nature.</li>
<li>Measures must always in a progressive society be held superior to men, who are after all imperfect instruments, working for their fulfillment.</li>
<li>Moral authority is never retained by any attempt to hold on to it. It comes without seeking and is retained without effort.</li>
<li>Morality is contraband in war.</li>
<li>Morality is the basis of things and truth is the substance of all morality.</li>
<li>Morality which depends upon the helplessness of a man or woman has not much to recommend it. Morality is rooted in the purity of our hearts.</li>
<li>My life is my message.</li>
<li>My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realizing Him.</li>
<li>Nearly everything you do is of no importance, but it is important that you do it.</li>
<li>No culture can live if it attempts to be exclusive.</li>
<li>Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good</li>
<li>Non-violence and truth are inseparable and presuppose one another.</li>
<li>Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.</li>
<li>Non-violence is the article of faith.</li>
<li>Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.</li>
<li>Non-violence requires a double faith, faith in God and also faith in man</li>
<li>Non-violence, which is the quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain.</li>
<li>Nonviolence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed</li>
<li>One&#8217;s own religion is after all a matter between oneself and one&#8217;s Maker and no one else&#8217;s.</li>
<li>Only he can take great resolves who has indomitable faith in God and has fear of God</li>
<li><strong>Peace is its own reward.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Poverty is the worst form of violence.</strong></li>
<li>Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment.</li>
<li>Prayer is a confession of one&#8217;s own unworthiness and weakness.</li>
<li>Prayer is not an old woman&#8217;s idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.</li>
<li>Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.</li>
<li>Providence has its appointed hour for everything. We cannot command results, we can only strive.</li>
<li>Purity of personal life is the one indispensable condition for building up a sound education.</li>
<li>Religion is a matter of the heart. No physical inconvenience can warrant abandonment of one&#8217;s own religion.</li>
<li>Religion is more than life. Remember that his own religion is the truest to every man even if it stands low in the scales of philosophical comparison</li>
<li>Rights that do not flow from duty well performed are not worth having.</li>
<li>Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory.</li>
<li>Self-respect knows no considerations.</li>
<li>Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served. But all other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.</li>
<li>Spiritual relationship is far more precious than physical. Physical relationship divorced from spiritual is body without soul.</li>
<li>Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.</li>
<li>That service is the noblest which is rendered for its own sake</li>
<li>The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.</li>
<li>The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world&#8217;s problem.</li>
<li><strong>The essence of all religions is one. Only their approaches are different.</strong></li>
<li>The good man is the friend of all living things.</li>
<li>The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.</li>
<li>The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still small voice of conscience.</li>
<li>The law of sacrifice is uniform throughout the world. To be effective it demands the sacrifice of the bravest and the most spotless.</li>
<li>The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, act rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body.</li>
<li>The moment there is suspicion about a person&#8217;s motives, everything he does becomes tainted.</li>
<li>The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within.</li>
<li>The pursuit of truth does not permit violence on one&#8217;s opponent.</li>
<li>The real ornament of woman is her character, her purity.</li>
<li>The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart.</li>
<li><strong>The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.</strong></li>
<li>There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.</li>
<li>There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supercedes all other courts.</li>
<li>There is a sufficiency in the world for man&#8217;s need but not for man&#8217;s greed.</li>
<li>There is an orderliness in the universe, there is an unalterable law governing everything and every being that exists or lives. It is no blind law; for no blind law can govern the conduct of living beings.</li>
<li>There is more to life than increasing its speed</li>
<li>There is no principle worth the name if it is not wholly good.</li>
<li>There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.</li>
<li>Those who know how to think need no teachers.</li>
<li>Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.</li>
<li>Though we may know Him by a thousand names, He is one and the same to us all.</li>
<li>To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.</li>
<li>To deprive a man of his natural liberty and to deny to him the ordinary amenities of life is worse then starving the body; it is starvation of the soul, the dweller in the body</li>
<li>To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.</li>
<li>Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.</li>
<li>Truth never damages a cause that is just.</li>
<li>Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.</li>
<li>Unwearied ceaseless effort is the price that must be paid for turning faith into a rich infallible experience.</li>
<li>Violent means will give violent freedom. That would be a menace to the world and to India herself.</li>
<li>Violent men have not been known in history to die to a man. They die up to a point</li>
<li>We do not need to proselytise either by our speech or by our writing. We can only do so really with our lives. Let our lives be open books for all to study.</li>
<li>We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts?</li>
<li>We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it.</li>
<li>We should meet abuse by forbearance. Human nature is so constituted that if we take absolutely no notice of anger or abuse, the person indulging in it will soon weary of it and stop.</li>
<li>We win justice quickest by rendering justice to the other party.</li>
<li>What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?</li>
<li>What do I think of Western civilization? I think it would be a very good idea.</li>
<li>What is true of the individual will be to-morrow true of the whole nation if individuals will but refuse to lose heart and hope.</li>
<li>Whatever you do may seem insignificant to you, but it is most important that you do it.</li>
<li>When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.</li>
<li>When restraint and courtesy are added to strength, the latter becomes irresistible</li>
<li>Where love is, there God is also.</li>
<li>Where there is love there is life.</li>
<li>You don&#8217;t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.</li>
<li>You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.</li>

<li>How marriage ruins a man! It is as demoralizing as cigarettes, and far more expensive.</li>

<li>Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about</li>
<li>Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.</li>
<li>Men always want to be a woman&#8217;s first love &#8211; women like to be a man&#8217;s last romance</li>
<li>Men marry because they are tired; women, because they are curious; both are disappointed</li>
<li>Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike.</li>
<li>No man is rich enough to buy back his past</li>
<li>No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly.</li>
<li>Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul.</li>
<li><strong>One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry.</strong></li>
<li>One&#8217;s real life is so often the life that one does not lead.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are some of the top quotes by Albert Einstein, Add to the list if you know any other.  Some quotes are repeated as I have tried to categorize those quotes.</p>
<blockquote>
<ol>
<h1>Funny quotes by Albert Einstein</h1>
<li>Two things are infinite the universe and human stupidity and I&#8217;m not sure about the former. (famous as <strong>Einstein&#8217;s quote on stupidity</strong> and my favorite)</li>
<li>The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.</li>
<li><strong>I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War  IV will be fought with sticks and stones.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty  girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.</strong></li>
<li>Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.</li>
<li>The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.</li>
<li>Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.</li>
<li>God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically.</li>
<li><strong>In order to form an immaculate member of a flock of sheep one must,  above all, be a sheep.</strong></li>
<li>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 (Famous as <strong>Albert Einstein Cat quote</strong>)</li>
<li><strong>Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts</strong></li>
<li>I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out  in a war fought with the atomic bomb. <strong>Perhaps two-thirds of the people</strong> of the earth will be killed.</li>
<li>If the facts don&#8217;t fit the theory, change the facts.</li>
<li>If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance  to the tailor.</li>
<li>Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again  and expecting different results.</li>
<li>It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal  education.</li>
<li><strong>The difference between stupidity and genius is that  genius has its limits.</strong></li>
<li><strong>When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a  second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour.  That&#8217;s relativity.</strong></li>
<h1>Quotes on God, Religion by Albert Einstein</h1>
<li>I want to know God&#8217;s thoughts; the rest are details.</li>
<li>I am a deeply religious nonbeliever &#8211; this is a  somewhat new kind of religion.</li>
<li><strong>God always takes the simplest way.</strong></li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>I am convinced that God does not play dice.</li>
<li>Before God we are all equally wise &#8211; and <strong>equally  foolish.</strong></li>
<li><strong>True religion is real living; living with all one&#8217;s  soul, with all one&#8217;s goodness and righteousness.</strong></li>
<li>God is subtle but he is not malicious.</li>
<li>Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind</li>
<li>God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically</li>
<li>Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.</li>
<li>A man&#8217;s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy,  education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be  in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of  reward after death</li>
<li>The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more  certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through  the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through  striving after rational knowledge</li>
<li>I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the  objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.</li>
<li>It was the experience of mystery &#8211; even if mixed with  fear &#8211; that engendered religion.</li>
<li>Morality is of the highest importance &#8211; but for us,  not for God.</li>
<h1>Quotes on Life by Albert Einstein</h1>
<li>Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.</li>
<li><strong>Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.</strong></li>
<li>A person starts to live when he can live outside himself.</li>
<li>The only source of knowledge is experience.</li>
<li>Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage  to move in the opposite direction.</li>
<li><strong>The high destiny of the individual is to serve rather  than to rule.</strong></li>
<li>Intellectual growth should commence at birth and  cease only at death.</li>
<li><strong>Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them.</strong></li>
<li>Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds.</li>
<li>Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.</li>
<li>Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his  whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery  demands all of a person.</li>
<li><strong>We can&#8217;t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when  we created them.</strong></li>
<li>If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.</li>
<li>The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there&#8217;s no  risk of accident for someone who&#8217;s dead.</li>
<li>The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.  It is the source of all true art and all science.  He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.</li>
<li>The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of  activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.</li>
<li>A man should look for what is, and not for what he  thinks should be.</li>
<li><strong>The value of a man should be seen in what he gives  and not in what he is able to receive.</strong></li>
<li>A perfection of means, and confusion of aims, seems  to be our main problem.</li>
<li>An empty stomach is not a good political adviser.</li>
<li>Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too  little falls into lazy habits of thinking.</li>
<li>Anyone who doesn&#8217;t take truth seriously in small  matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.</li>
<li><strong>Everyone should be respected as an individual, but no  one idolized.</strong></li>
<li>Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel  with their own hearts.</li>
<li>Human beings must have action; and they will make it  if they cannot find it.</li>
<li>I do not believe in immortality of the individual,  and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no  superhuman authority behind it.</li>
<li>I have just got a new theory of eternity.</li>
<li><strong>If people are good only because they fear punishment,  and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.</strong></li>
<li><strong>There are two ways to live: you can live as if  nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.</strong></li>
<li><strong>If you can&#8217;t explain it simply, you don&#8217;t understand  it well enough.</strong></li>
<li>In matters of truth and justice, there is no  difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the  treatment of people are all the same.</li>
<li><strong>The world is a dangerous place to live; not because  of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don&#8217;t do  anything about it.</strong></li>
<h1>Quotes on happiness by Albert Einstein</h1>
<li>A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what  else does a man need to be happy?</li>
<li>I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life  is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.</li>
<h1>Quotes on Love by Albert Einstein</h1>
<li>No, this trick won&#8217;t work&#8230;. How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?</li>
<li>Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.</li>
<li><strong>Love is a better teacher than duty.</strong></li>
<h1>Education quotes by Albert Einstein</h1>
<li><strong>The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned  in school</strong></li>
<li><strong>It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal  education.</strong></li>
<h1>Quotes on Imagination, Intuition,Curiosity by Albert Einstein</h1>
<li><strong>Imagination is more important than knowledge.</strong></li>
<li>The only real valuable thing is intuition.</li>
<li>I have no special talent. I am only passionately  curious.</li>
<li>The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing</li>
<li>All these primary impulses, not easily described in  words, are the springs of man&#8217;s actions.</li>
<li>I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my  imagination.</li>
<li>Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly  to what should be.</li>
<li>Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take  you everywhere.</li>
<li>The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my  talent for absorbing positive knowledge.</li>
<li>To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard  old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks  real advance in science.</li>
<h1>Quotes on Attitude by Albert Einstein</h1>
<li><strong>Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Force always attracts men of low morality.</strong></li>
<li>Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for  tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.</li>
<li>You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you  have to play better than anyone else.</li>
<h1>Albert Einstein Quotes by Albert Einstein</h1>
<li><strong>I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.</strong></li>
<li>It is strange to be known so universally and yet to  be so lonely.</li>
<li>I have no special talent. I am only passionately  curious.</li>
<li>A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are  the others crazy? (<strong>Albert Einstein&#8217;s crazy quote</strong>)</li>
<li>I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine  times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.</li>
<li>It&#8217;s not that I&#8217;m so smart, it&#8217;s just that I stay  with problems longer.</li>
<li>I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion.</li>
<li>I live in that solitude which is painful in youth,  but delicious in the years of maturity.</li>
<li><strong>Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you  mine are still greater</strong></li>
<li><strong>Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity</strong></li>
<li><strong>Isn&#8217;t it strange that I who have written only  unpopular books should be such a popular fellow?</strong></li>
<li>It gives me great pleasure indeed to see the  stubbornness of an incorrigible nonconformist warmly acclaimed.</li>
<li>As far as I&#8217;m concerned, I prefer silent vice to  ostentatious virtue.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking&#8230;the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind.   If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker.</li>
<li>He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt.  He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder</li>
<li>I am content in my later years. I have kept my good humor and take neither myself nor the next person seriously.</li>
<h1>Quotes on World by Albert Einstein</h1>
<li>The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.</li>
<li>In order to form an immaculate member of a flock of sheep one must,  above all, be a sheep</li>
<li>All that is valuable in human society depends upon  the opportunity for development accorded the individual.</li>
<li>Small is the number of people who see with their eyes  and think with their minds.</li>
<h1>Art, Science, technology Quotes by Albert Einstein</h1>
<li>Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.</li>
<li><strong>Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one&#8217;s living  at it.</strong></li>
<li><strong>The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday  thinking</strong></li>
<li><strong>Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.</strong></li>
<li>one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless  dreariness, from the fetters of one&#8217;s own ever-shifting desires.  A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of  objective perception and thought.</li>
<li><strong>All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the  same tree.</strong></li>
<li>If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be  called research, would it?</li>
<li><strong>It has become appallingly obvious that our technology  has exceeded our humanity.</strong></li>
<li>It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in  creative expression and knowledge.</li>
<li>It stands to the everlasting credit of science that  by acting on the human mind it has overcome man&#8217;s insecurity before  himself and before nature.</li>
<li><strong>Most people say that is it is the intellect which  makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.</strong></li>
<li>No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right;  a single experiment can prove me wrong.</li>
<li>The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest  number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number  of hypotheses or axioms.</li>
<li>The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a  continual flight from wonder.</li>
<li>True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in  the creative artist.</li>
<h1>Maths Quotes by Albert Einstein</h1>
<li>Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater</li>
<li>Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity</li>
<li>As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not  certain, as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality</li>
<li>Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of  logical ideas.</li>
<h1>Peace Quotes by Albert Einstein</h1>
<li><strong>Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding</strong></li>
<h1>Patriotism Quotes by Albert Einstein</h1>
<li>Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the  measles of mankind.</li>
<li>Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense   that goes by the name of patriotism how passionately I hate them!</li>
<h1>World War Quotes by Albert Einstein</h1>
<li>I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War  IV will be fought with sticks and stones.</li>
<li><strong>You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for  war.</strong></li>
<li>I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out  in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two thirds of the people  of the earth will be killed.</li>
<li>I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I  am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people  themselves refuse to go to war.</li>
<li>The release of atomic energy has not created a new  problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an  existing one.</li>
<li><strong>It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of  war is nothing but an act of murder.</strong></li>
<h1>Quotes on Communism by Albert Einstein</h1>
<li>One strength of the communist system of the East is  that it has some of the character of a religion and inspires the  emotions of a religion.</li>
<h1>Nature Quotes by Albert Einstein</h1>
<li>Joy in looking and comprehending is nature&#8217;s most  beautiful gift.</li>
<li>It stands to the everlasting credit of science that  by acting on the human mind it has overcome man&#8217;s insecurity before  himself and before nature.</li>
<li>Look deep into nature, and then you will understand  everything better.</li>
<li>We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of  what nature has revealed to us.</li>
<h1>Other Quotes</h1>
<li>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</li>
<li>It is only to the individual that a soul is given.</li>
<li>The man of science is a poor philosopher.</li>
<li>It should be possible to explain the laws of physics  to a barmaid.</li>
<li>Never do anything against conscience even if the  state demands it.</li>
<li>The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates  the creative mind.</li>
<li>Memory is deceptive because it is colored by today&#8217;s  events.</li>
<li>The most beautiful thing we can experience is the  mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.</li>

<li>People love chopping wood. In this activity one  immediately sees results.</li>
<li>Perfection of means and confusion of ends seem to  characterize our age.</li>
<li><strong>Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of  value.</strong></li>
<li>The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only  rarely been successful and then only for a short while.</li>
<li>The devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in  life. Either we suffer in health or we suffer in soul or we get fat.</li>
<li>The environment is everything that isn&#8217;t me.</li>
<li>The faster you go, the shorter you are.</li>
<li>The only reason for time is so that everything  doesn&#8217;t happen at once.</li>
<li>The road to perdition has ever been accompanied by  lip service to an ideal.</li>
<li>The unleashed power of the atom has changed  everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward  unparalleled catastrophe.</li>
<li>There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane  of knowledge but can never prove how it got there.</li>
<li>I have not eaten enough of the tree of knowledge, though in my profession     I am obligated to feed on it regularly.</li>
