- "The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility."

- "Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character."

- "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is
blind."

- "Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by
understanding."

- "The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is
comprehensible."

- "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and
I'm not sure about the the universe."

- "Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and
Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."

- "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but
World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

must, above all, be a sheep."

can be counted counts." (Sign hanging in Einstein's office at Princeton)
