This brief collection of direct and indirect quotations by or about Albert Einstein is offered as a tribute in honour of the centenary of his birth. The selection makes no attempt to be complete but does try to be representative of his attitude towards science and mathematics. As this selection is addressed to a primarily scientific audience, his views concerning his two most important creations, quantum theory and relativity, are particularly stressed toward the end.
