One does not make wars less likely by formulationg rules of warfare... war cannot be humanized. It can only be eliminated.
Albert Einstein
Image
Unless the cause of peace based on law gathers behind it the force and zeal of a religion, it hardly can hope to succeed.

Everything what's inspiring has been created by one who could work in freedom
Albert Einstein
Image
Most people go on living their everyday life: half-frightened, half indifferent, they behold the ghostly tragic-comedy that is being performed on the international stage before the eyes and ears of the world.
Albert Einstein
Image
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
Image

I do know that kind fate allowed me to find a couple of nice ideas after many years of feverish labor.
Albert Einstein
Image
The ways of creation are wrapt in mystery. We may only marvel, and bow our head.

There is separation of colored people from white people in the United States. That separation is not a disease of colored people. It is a disease of white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it.
Albert Einstein
Image

Albert Einstein
Image
I admit that thoughts influence the body.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is nothing short of a miracle that modern methods of teaching have not yet entirely strangled that sacred spirit of curiosity and inquiry, for this delicate plant needs freedom no less than stimulation.
Albert Einstein
Image
I feel that you are justified in looking into the future with true assurance, because you have a mode of living in which we find the joy of life and the joy of work harmoniously combined. Added to this is the spirit of ambition which pervades your very being, and seems to make the day's work like a happy child at play.
Albert Einstein
Image
Although words exist for the most part for the transmission of ideas, there are some which produce such violent disturbance in our feelings that the role they play in the transmission of ideas is lost in the background.
Albert Einstein
Image
In my opinion there is no other salvation for civilization and even for the human race than the creation of a world government with security on the basis of law. As long as there are sovereign states with their separate armaments and armament secrets, new world wars cannot be avoided.

It is quite clear to me that the religious paradise of youth, which [I] lost, was a first attempt to free myself from the chains of the 'merely personal,' from an existence which is dominated by wishes, hopes, and primitive feelings.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is my fate to be considered an authority, since I spent my youth rebelling against it.

This is what the painter, the poet, the speculative philosopher, and the natural scientists do, each in his own fashion.
