During a mathematics lecture

(During a lecture) This has been done elegantly by Minkowski; but chalk is cheaper than grey matter, and we will do it as it comes.

Quoted in J. E. Littlewood, A Mathematician's Miscellany, 1953

Efforts of human-being

The efforts of most human-beings are consumed in the struggle for their daily bread, but most of those who are, either through fortune or some special gift, relieved of this struggle are largely absorbed in further improving their worldly lot.

New York Times, May 5, 1935

The truth of a theory

The truth of a theory is in your mind, not in your eyes.

Quoted in H. Eves Mathematical Circles Squared (Boston 1972)

Conversation on Religion and Antisemitism

I do not believe that a man should be restrained in his daily actions by being afraid of punishment after death or that he should do things only because in this way he will be rewarded after he dies. This does not make sense. The proper guidance during the life of a man should be the weight that he puts upon ethics and the amount of consideration that he has for others.

The Private Albert Einstein by Peter A. Bucky (1992)

The search for truth

The search for truth is more precious than its possession.

The American Mathematical Monthly
