Science can only ascertain what is . . .

For science can only ascertain what is, but not what should be, and ouside of its domain value judgements of all kinds remain necessary.

False notion based on the practical results of science - Einstein

Those whose acquaintance with scientific research is derived chiefly from its practical results easily develop a completely false notion of the mentality of the men who, surrounded by a sceptical work, have shown the way to kindred sprits scattered wide through the world and the centuries. 

Science and religion

A Contemporary has said, not unjustly, that in this materialist age of ours the serious scientific workers are the only profoundly religious people.

Einstein - Ideas and Opinions - page 40.

Einstein on cosmic religious feeling, art and science.

"How can cosmic religious feeling be communicated from one person to another, if it can give rise to no definite notion of a God and no theology? In my view, it is the most important function of art and science to awaken this feeling and keep it alive in those who are receptive to it." Einstein - Ideas and Opinions page 38.

Einstein on the mysterious.

"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Page 11 Ideas and Opinions.
