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

Oh he saGravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.

Certain it is that a conviction, akin to religious feeling, of the rationality and intelligibility of the world lies behind all scientific work of a higher order. The firm belief, which is bound up with deep feeling, in a superior mind revealing himself in the world of experience, represents my conception of God, which may, therefore be described in common parlance as ‘pantheistic’ Albert Einstein

"I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it." – Einstein

The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. – Einstein

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms. – Einstein

"I have never talked to a Jesuit priest in my life and I am astonished by the audacity to tell such lies about me. From the viewpoint of a Jesuit priest I am, of course, and have always been an atheist. ... It is always misleading to use anthropomorphical concepts in dealing with things outside the human sphere—childish analogies. We have to admire in humility and beautiful harmony of the structure of this world—as far as we can grasp it. And that is all." – Einstein

"Buddhist has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural and the spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the sense of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity" - Einstein

It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously." - Einstein

I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings. Albert Einstein

As usual, Einstein made PERFECT sense.

The universe is not infinite. He was right to say he was not sure of that.

I think Einstein never said that. No, wait. I KNOW Einstein never said that.

that quote has no attributable source to Einstein

rather it was in a book by Frederick Perl who reports that Einstein made that statement.

Whether or not that was really said is questionable as it does not mesh with his other attributable sayings

Only God is infinite, all others are transitory.

Einstein must have had a premonition

It is a curse of the highly intelligent to see how utterly stupid others are. Einstein must have been dreadfully depressed at times.

All faults will be corrected. It takes patience and forgiveness.

I'm happy about it. Also not worried about being stupid.

i've heard a story that he said something along those lines
