e idea of a personal God is quite alien to me and seems even naive. However, I am also not a "Freethinker" in the usual sense of the word because I find that this is in the main an attitude nourished exclusively by an opposition against naive superstition. My feeling is insofar religious as I am imbued with the consciousness of the insuffiency of the human mind to understand deeply the harmony of the Universe which we try to formulate as "laws of nature." It is this consciousness and humility I miss in the Freethinker mentality. Sincerely yours, Albert Einstein.

It is just as important to make knowledge live and keep it alive as to solve specific problems.

A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.

All conditions and all circumstances in our lives are a result of a certain level of thinking. If we want to change the conditions and circumstances, we have to change the level of thinking that is responsible for it.

One must take what nature gives as one finds it.

Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it.

There is no salvation for civilization, or even the human race, other than the creation of a world government.
