ALBERT EINSTEIN'S PERSONAL VIEWS

Nine quotes from Albert Einstein (Great Quotes from Great Leaders, Published by Simple Truths, Naperville, IL, 2007).

1.) "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."

2.) “It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.”

3.) “The only real valuable thing is intuition.” 

4.) "Imagination is more important than knowledge.” 

5.) “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” 

6.) “Truth is what stands the test of experience.”

7.) “The most important human endeavor is the striving for morality in our actions; only this can give beauty and dignity to life.”

Despite growing up as a Jew, Einstein was neither practicing nor orthodox in his Jewish faith. He does however, admit to being:

8.) “Enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene” (What Life Means to Einstein: An Interview by George Sylvester Viereck, The Saturday Evening Post, Oct. 26, 1929, p. 17) in which Einstein had the following to say about Jesus.

George Viereck: “You accept the historical existence of Jesus?”

9.) Einstein answered: “Unquestionably. No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life. No man can deny the fact that Jesus existed, nor that his sayings are beautiful. Even if some of them have been said before, no one has expressed them so divinely as he.”
