Conventional words or other signs have to be sought for laboriously only in a second stage, where the associative play already referred to is sufficiently established and can be reproduced at will.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is a very high goal which, with our weak powers, we can reach only very inadequately, but which gives a sure foundation to our aspirations and valuations.
Albert Einstein
Image
To dwell on the things that depress or anger us does not help in overcoming them. One must knock them down alone.
Albert Einstein
Image
I do not play games. There is not time for it. When I get through with work, I don't want anything that requires the working of the mind.

This topic brings me to that worst outcrop of herd life, the military system, which I abhor... This plague-spot of civilization ought to be abolished with all possible speed. Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them!
Albert Einstein
Image
An autocratic system of coercion, in my opinion, soon degenerates. For force always attracts men of low morality, and I believe it to be an invariable rule that tyrants of genius are succeeded by scoundrels. For this reason I have always been passionately opposed to systems such as we see in Italy and Russia to-day.

Be kind to people who are different from you.
Albert Einstein

The pioneers of a warless world are the young men (and women) who refuse military service.
Albert Einstein
Image
My life is a simple thing that would interest no one. It is a known fact that I was born, and that is all that is necessary.
Albert Einstein

In the middle of difficulties lie opportunities.
Albert Einstein
