Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as hard duty.

Classical thermodynamics ... is the only physical theory of universal content which I am convinced ... will never be overthrown.

I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.
Albert Einstein
