It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this.
Albert Einstein
Image
The world as we see it is only the world as we see it. Others may see it differently.
Albert Einstein
Image
I believe we are here to do good. It is the responsibility of every human being to aspire to do something worthwhile, to make the world a better place than the one we found.

It is intelligent to have a plan, but neurotic to fall in love with it.
Albert Einstein
Image
If you're not sure why you're doing something, you can never do enough of it. Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Albert Einstein
