Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger generation. For they are us; our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life.

Life, Death, Wisdom
Albert Einstein (2010). “The Ultimate Quotable Einstein”, p.91, Princeton University Press

A man's ethical behaviour should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.

Albert Einstein
Sympathy, God, Death
Albert Einstein (2010). “Ideas And Opinions”, p.39, Broadway Books

The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mystical. It is the power of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms - this knowledge, this feeling, is at the center of true religiousness. In this sense, and in this sense only, I belong to the rank of devoutly religious men.

Albert Einstein
Beautiful, Death, God
Quoted in Philipp Frank Einstein: His Life and Times (1947), ch.12, section 5.

It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously. I also cannot imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere... Science has been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.

Albert Einstein
Death, Religious, Atheist
"Religion and Science", New York Times Magazine, November 9, 1930.

The man who regards his own life and that of his fellow-creatures as meaningless is not merely unfortunate but almost disqualified for life.

Albert Einstein
Life, Death, Men
Albert Einstein (2011). “The World As I See It”, p.13, Open Road Media

When you look at yourself from a universal standpoint, something inside always reminds or informs you that there are bigger and better things to worry about.

We all try to escape pain and death, while we seek what is pleasant.

Albert Einstein
Death, Pain, Trying
Albert Einstein (2011). “Out of My Later Years: The Scientist, Philosopher, and Man Portrayed Through His Own Words”, p.16, Open Road Media

I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it elegantly.

Albert Einstein
Death, Done, Want
Albert Einstein (2010). “The Ultimate Quotable Einstein”, p.95, Princeton University Press

I want to be cremated so people won't come to worship at my bones.

Albert Einstein
Death, People, Want
Albert Einstein (2010). “The Ultimate Quotable Einstein”, p.96, Princeton University Press

The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.

Albert Einstein
Love, Life, Death
