Albert Einstein

"You imagine that I look back on my life’s work with calm satisfaction. But from nearby it looks quite different. There is not a single concept of which I am convinced that it will stand firm, and I feel uncertain whether I am in general on the right track." Albert Einstein

"The struggle, so violent in the early days of science, between the views of Ptolemy and Copernicus would then be quite meaningless. Either CS [coordinate system] could be used with equal justification. The two sentences, “the Sun is at rest and the Earth moves,” or “the Sun moves and the Earth is at rest,” would simply mean two different conventions concerning two different CS." Albert Einstein

"A clever head doesn't fit under a steel helmet." Albert Einstein

"The masses are never militaristic until their minds are poisoned by propaganda." Albert Einstein

"The ruling class has the schools and press under its thumb. This enables it to sway the emotions of the masses." Albert Einstein

"Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school." Albert Einstein

"That a man can take pleasure in marching in formation to the strains of a band is enough to make me despise him. He has only been given his big brain by mistake; a backbone was all he needed. This plague-spot of civilization ought to be abolished with all possible speed. Heroism by order, senseless violence, and all the pestilent nonsense that does by the name of patriotism--how I hate them! War seems to me a mean, contemptible thing: I would rather be hacked in pieces than take part in such an abominable business. And yet so high, in spite of everything, is my opinion of the human race that I believe this bogey would have disappeared long ago, had the sound sense of the nations not been systematically corrupted by commercial and political interests acting through the schools and the Press." Albert Einstein

"Since the mathematicians have invaded the theory of relativity I do not understand it myself any more." Albert Einstein

"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing." Albert Einstein

"Creativity Is Intelligence Having Fun" Albert Einstein

"Three great forces rule the world: stupidity, fear and greed." Albert Einstein

"Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances of survival of life on Earth as much as the development of a vegetarian diet." Albert Einstein

"Hoping for change without doing anything about it yourself is like standing at the train station and waiting for a ship." Albert Einstein

"It almost seems to me that man was not born to be a carnivore." Albert Einstein
