The discovery of nuclear chain reactions need not bring about the destruction of mankind any more than did the discovery of matches.

Albert Einstein
Image
Science is the century-old endeavor to bring together by means of systematic thought the perceptible phenomena of this world into as thorough-going an association as possible.
Albert Einstein

When a man is sufficiently motivated, discipline will take care of itself.
Albert Einstein
Image
A country cannot simultaneously prepare and prevent war. I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. The distinctions separating the social classes are false in the last analysis they rest on force.
Albert Einstein
Image
The majority of the stupid is invincible and guaranteed for all time. The terror of their tyranny, however, is alleviated by their lack of consistency.
Albert Einstein

A world government with powers adequate to guarantee security is not a remote ideal for the distant future. It is an urgent necessity if our civilization is to survive.
