Albert Einstein Quotes

Science is the ultimate tool to reveal the laws of nature, and the one word written on its banner is Truth.

What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what's going on.

Science is about unravelling nature.

I always looked at myself as a physicist learning new tricks by looking at nature.

Our goal in science is to discover universal laws of nature. That pursuit fills me with wonder.

From my early youth I have had the strongest desire to understand or explain whatever I observed. ... To group all facts under some general laws.

To explain all nature is too difficult a task for any one man or even for any one age

From the dawn of history, science has probed the universe of unknowns, searching for the uniting laws of nature.

Every science has for its basis a system of principles as fixed and unalterable as those by which the universe is regulated and governed. Man cannot make principles; he can only discover them.

Man masters nature not by force but by understanding. This is why science has succeeded where magic failed: because it has looked for no spell to cast over nature.

Curiosity - the rover and the concept - is what science is all about: the quest to reveal the unknown.

Nature and nature's laws lay hid in the night. God said, Let Newton be! and all was light!

I think I always wanted to go into physics. What always fascinated me about science was the desire to understand what underlies it all, and I think physics is basically the study of that.

Pursue science because it is knowledge, because it broadens our horizons. There is so much more to be discovered.

Scientific method, although in its more refined forms it may seem complicated, is in essence remarkably simply. It consists in observing such facts as will enable the observer to discover general laws governing facts of the kind in question. The two stages, first of observation, and second of inference to a law, are both essential, and each is susceptible of almost indefinite refinement. (1931)

In the search for truth - that everything in nature seems to hide - man needs the assistance of all his faculties. All the senses should be awake.

Science is the key which unlocks the storehouses of nature.

Science demands patience.

Nature is made in such a way as to be able to be understood. Or perhaps I should put it-more correctly-the other way around, and say that we are made in such a way as to be able to understand Nature.

I have often had cause to feel that my hands are cleverer than my head. That is a crude way of characterizing the dialectics of experimentation. When it is going well, it is like a quiet conversation with Nature. One asks a question and gets an answer, then one asks the next question and gets the next answer. An experiment is a device to make Nature speak intelligibly. After that, one only has to listen.

Curiosity, earnest research to learn the hidden laws of nature, gladness akin to rapture, as they unfolded to me, are among the earliest sensations I can remember.

Science gives you an understanding of the physical world, and it increases the capacity for fascination.

How insidious Nature is when one is trying to get at it experimentally.

We are very lucky to be living in an age in which we are still making discoveries. It is like the discovery of America-you only discover it once. The age in which we live is the age in which we are discovering the fundamental laws of nature, and that day will never come again. It is very exciting, it is marvelous, but this excitement will have to go.

Scientists are explorers. Philosophers are tourists.
