Albert Einstein

We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life. All that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.
Albert Einstein

Only world law can assure progress towards a civilized peaceful community.
Albert Einstein

There are few enough people with sufficient independence to see the weaknesses and follies of their contemporaries and remain themselves untouched by them.
Albert Einstein
Image
The point is to develop the childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition and to guide the child over to important fields for society. Such a school demands from the teacher that he be a kind of artist in his province.
Albert Einstein
