Albert Einstein Achievement Quotations

The value of achievement lies in the achieving.

The future is not a gift-it is an achievement.

Stupidity is a personal achievement which transcends national boundaries.

The emotional state that leads to achievements resembles that of a worshiper or the lover.

Development of Western science is based on two great achievements: the invention of the formal logical system (in Euclidean geometry) by the Greek philosophers, and the discovery of the possibility to find out causal relationships by systematic experiment (during the Renaissance). In my opinion, one has not to be astonished that the Chinese sages have not made these steps. The astonishing thing is that these discoveries were made at all.

The aim of science is, on the one hand, as complete a comprehension as possible of the connection between perceptible experiences in their totality, and, on the other hand, the achievement of this aim by employing a minimum of primary concepts and relations.
