Albert Einstein says: 
41- “If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.”
42- “When the solution is simple, God is answering.”

43- “Our task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and it's beauty.”

44- “God is subtle but he is not malicious.”

45- “One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike -- and yet it is the most precious thing we have.”

46- “The only real valuable thing is intuition.”

47- “Imagination is the highest form of research.”

48- “A person starts to live when he can live outside himself.”

49- “I never made one of my discoveries through the process of rational thinking”

50- “I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.”
 
51- “If I had an hour to solve a problem I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.”

52- “From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that we are here for the sake of each other - above all for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends, and also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day I realize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of my fellow men, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.”

53- “It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living, by its purely physical effect on the human temperament, would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind.”

54- “The word 'God' is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, and religious scripture a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can (for me) change this.”

55- “Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.”

56- “Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population.”

57- “If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.”

58- “If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.”

59- “Student: Dr. Einstein, Aren't these the same questions as last year's [physics] final exam?

Dr. Einstein: Yes; But this year the answers are different.”

60- “Somebody who only reads newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who scorns eyeglasses. He is completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of his times, since he never gets to see or hear anything else.”
