The world is not threatened by evil people, but by those who allow evil to take place.
Albert Einstein

The really valuable thing in the pageant of human life seems to me not the political state, but the creative, sentient individual, the personality it alone creates the noble and the sublime, while the herd as such remains dull in thought and dull in feeling.
Albert Einstein
Image

Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them!

The moon does not simply disappear when we are not looking at it.
Albert Einstein
Image
Even if only 2 percent of those assigned to perform military service should announce their refusal to fight, governments would be powerless, they would not dare send such a large number of people to jail.
Albert Einstein
Image
Albert is a very poor student. He is mentally slow, unsociable and is always daydreaming. He is spoiling it for the rest of the class. It would be in the best interests of all if he were removed from school immediately.
Albert Einstein
Image
Common sense is that layer of prejudices which we acquire before we are sixteen.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is harder to crack prejudice than an atom.
Albert Einstein

What distinguishes the language of science from language as we ordinarily understand the word? ... What science strives for is an utmost acuteness and clarity of concepts as regards their mutual relation and their correspondence to sensory data.
