Here are some quotes from Albert Einstein:
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder. " "Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing." "Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new" "Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds." "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler" "The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources." "Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding" "A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."
Other Quotes:"Non violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages" "For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain can not reap joy and love" "I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being"
At the same time, our heroic non-breeders avoid sentencing a loved one to a life in a world with rapidly diminishing livability." "Only dead fish swim with the stream" "The worst mistake anyone can make is being too afraid to make one" "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." |
