I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms.

Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein

If I give you a pfennig, you will be one pfennig richer and I'll be one pfennig poorer. But if I give you an idea, you will have a new idea, but I shall still have it too.
Albert Einstein

Feeling and longing are the motive forces behind all human endeavor and human creations.
Albert Einstein
Image
I asked myself childish questions and proceeded to answer them.
Albert Einstein

The idea of achieving security through national armament is, at the present state of military technique, a disastrous illusion.
Albert Einstein
Image
For the most part, I do the thing which my own nature prompts me to do. It is embarrassing to earn so much respect and love for it.
Albert Einstein
Image
What is essential in the life of a man of my kind is what he thinks and how he thinks, and not what he does or suffers.
Albert Einstein
Image
Subtle is the Lord. Malicious, He is not.
Albert Einstein
Image
I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil. My God created laws that take care of that. His universe is not ruled by wishful thinking, but by immutable laws.

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!
