In my opinion there is no other salvation for civilization and even for the human race than the creation of a world government with security on the basis of law. As long as there are sovereign states with their separate armaments and armament secrets, new world wars cannot be avoided.
Albert EinsteinAny man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.
Albert EinsteinI received your letter of June 10th. I have never talked to a Jesuit priest in my life and I am astonished by the audacity to tell such lies about me. From the viewpoint of a Jesuit priest I am, of course, and have always been an atheist.
Albert EinsteinI am not an atheist. I do not know if I can define myself as a pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds.
Albert EinsteinI regard class differences as contrary to justice and, in the last resort, based on force.
Albert EinsteinI believe, indeed, that overemphasis on the purely intellectual attitude, often directed solely to the practical and factual, in our education, has led directly to the impairment of ethical values. I am not thinking so much of the dangers with which technical progress has directly confronted mankind, as of the stifling of mutual human considerations by a 'matter-of-fact' habit of thought which has come to lie like a killing frost upon human relations. Without 'ethical culture' there is no salvation for humanity.
