Mathematics are well and good but Nature keeps dragging us around by the nose.
Interpretation
While mathematics is valuable, the unpredictability of nature influences our lives more significantly.
Albert Einstein highlights the contrast between the abstract certainty of mathematics and the unpredictable, often uncontrollable forces of nature. He suggests that regardless of our mathematical understanding, we cannot escape the reality of the natural world, which constantly influences and shapes our experiences.
In practice
During a lecture on the importance of empirical evidence in science.
I cannot then believe in this concept of an anthropomorphic God who has the powers of interfering with these natural laws. As I said before, the most beautiful and most profound religious emotion that we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. And this mysticality is the power of all true science.
If I would follow your advice and Jesus could perceive it, he, as a Jewish teacher, surely would not approve of such behavior.
I want to know all Gods thoughts; all the rest are just details.
In the middle of adversity there is great opportunity.
I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth will be killed.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning the sun threw a bright dust-laden bar through one of the side windows and in and out of the beam flies shot like rushing stars.
Pacific Islands are among those that contribute least to global warming, yet suffer most.
Oh, give us pleasure in the orch-ard white, Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night.
Nature, like a loving mother, is ever trying to keep land and sea, mountain and valley, each in its place, to hush the angry winds and waves, balance the extremes of heat and cold, of rain and drought, that peace, harmony and beauty may reign supreme.
The sun, moving as it does, sets up processes of change and becoming and decay, and by its agency the finest and sweetest water is every day carried up and is dissolved into vapour and rises to the upper region, where it is condensed again by the cold and so returns to the earth. This, as we have said before, is the regular course of nature.
I would be absolutely astounded if population growth and industrialisation and all the stuff we are pumping into the atmosphere hadn't changed the climatic balance. Of course it has. There is no valid argument for denial.
