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.
I maintain that cosmic religiousness is the strongest and most noble driving force of scientific research.
Weak people revenge. Strong people forgive. Intelligent People Ignore.
The woman who follows the crowd will usually believe that I said this.
Even though the realms of religion and science in themselves are clearly marked off from each other, nevertheless there exist between the two strong reciprocal relationships and dependencies.

Of all forms of caution, caution in love is the most fatal. There are only two truly infinite things, the universe and stupidity. And I am unsure about the universe.
Even trivial events demonstrate strong devotion to the Universe and small concern for ego.
Imagination is stronger than knowledge.
A permanent peace cannot be prepared by threats but only by the honest attempt to create a mutual trust. However strong national armaments may be, they do not create military security for any nation nor do they guarantee the maintenance of peace.
