There is no scientific antidote, only education. You've got to change the way people think. I am not interested in disarmament talks between nations . . . What I want to do is to disarm the mind. After that, everything else will automatically follow. The ultimate weapon for such mental disarmament is international education.
Albert Einstein
The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
Dear Posterity, If you have not become more just, more peaceful, and in general more sensible... then may the Devil take you!
Albert Einstein
I think we have to safeguard ourselves against people who are a menace to others, quite apart from what may have motivated their deeds.
Albert Einstein
Intuitive powers played a central role in my scientific work, not wild speculation, yet a valued resource when no other approach was available.
Albert Einstein
In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep, one must above all be a sheep oneself.
Albert Einstein
The Bible is a great source of wisdom and consolation and should be read frequently.
Albert Einstein
Hope that justice will be done to those brave men who stood up for their convictions.
Albert Einstein
