"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, 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."

Hmmm...

"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge."

Interesting...

"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."

"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."

"Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater."


Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

 

I found that quote somewhere about 5 years ago...still one of my all time favorite quotes.

 

A better quote is, "Liberalism is a mental disorder," by Michael Savage. 'Nuff said.

 

...so does that mean you think Einstein had a mental disorder?

 

Is autism a mental distorder, when it often causes brilliance?

 

...brilliance at useless, unappliable tasks. Like counting matches falling from a box...not coming up with relativity.

 

We are talking about Albert Einstein here right? The guy that lived from 1879—1955? Ok, I think when he made those quotes he was refering to WWII. A war that ended the lives of roughly 52 million people. He may have been thinking about the attempted genocide and world domination Hitler had in mind. I believe at last count Hitler murdered 6 million Jews. I doubt peace talks were going to work. I'm pretty sure Einstein, with all his infinate wisdom, knew this.

As smart as we are, we can't ignore the fact that we humans are still savages.
My favorite quote:

"To secure peace is to prepare for war."
