Albert Einstein says: 
391-    “I was very pleased with your kind letter. Until now I never dreamed of being something like a hero. But since you've given me the nominatinon I feel that I am one.”
392-    “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.”

393-    “For any one who is pervaded with the sense of causal law in all that happens, who accepts in real earnest the assumption of causality, the idea of a Being who interferes with the sequence of events in the world is absolutely impossible. Neither the religion of fear nor the social-moral religion can have any hold on him.”

394-    “I received your letter of June 10th. 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.”

395-    “If at first an idea isn't absurd, there's no hope for it.”

396-    “I fully agree with you about the significance and educational value of methodology as well as history and philosophy of science. So many people today - and even professional scientists - seem to me like somebody who has seen thousands of trees but has never seen a forest. A knowledge of the historic and philosophical background gives that kind of independence from prejudices of his generation from which most scientists are suffering. This independence created by philosophical insight is - in my opinion - the mark of distinction between a mere artisan or specialist and a real seeker after truth.”

397-    “God always takes the simplest way.”

398-    “Buddhism 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 & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity.”

399-    “Knowledge exists in two forms - lifeless, stored in books, and alive, in the consciousness of men. The second form of existence is after all the essential one; the first, indispensable as it may be, occupies only an inferior position.”

400-    “There are two ways to live your life:
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
401-    “There are times when one
feels liberated from one’s
limits and human
imperfections.

At such moments, we see
ourselves there, in a little
corner of our little planet,
our eyes fixed in wonder on
the cold and yet deep
beauty of that which is
eternal, that which is
elusive.

Life and death are fused
together and there is no
evolution, nor destination,
there is only BEING.”

402-    “A man's actions are determined by necessity, external and internal.”

403-    “Creativity is contagious. Pass it on.”

404-    “The state was made for man, not man for state.”

405-    “I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life and with the awareness and a glimpse of the marvelous structure of the existing world, together with the devoted striving to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifests itself in nature.”

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

407-    “If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself.” 

408-    “If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.”

409-    “The difference between genius and stupidity is; genius has its limits.” 

410-    “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”

411-    “Creativity is knowing how to hide your sources” 

412-    “I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.”

413-    “When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.”

414-    “Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.”

415-    “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”

416-    “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

417-    “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?”

418-    “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”

419-    “A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.” 

420-    “Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.”

421-    “Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.”

422-    “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.”

423-    “I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

424-    “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”

425-    “I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express in words afterwards.”

426-    “I am content in my later years. I have kept my good humor and take neither myself nor the next person seriously.”

427-    “As an elderly man, I have remained estranged from the society here.”

428-    “If there is no price to be paid, it is also not of value.”

429-    “Try to become not a man of success, but try rather to become a man of value"
