The highest court is in the end one’s own conscience and conviction-that goes for you and for Einstein and every other physicist-and before any science there is first of all belief. For me, it is belief in a complete lawfulness in everything that happens.

I had always looked upon the search for the absolute as the noblest and most worth while task of science.

We cannot rest and sit down lest we rust and decay. Health is maintained only through work. And as it is with all life so it is with science. We are always struggling from the relative to the absolute.

An experiment is a question which science poses to Nature and a measurement is the recording of Nature’s answer.

Religion belongs to the realm that is inviolable before the law of causation and therefore closed to science.
