Einstein explained his theory to me every day, and on my arrival I was fully convinced that he understood it.

He received me not only cordially, but he was also full of confidence with respect to the war. His first words, after he had welcomed me, were as follows: 'Well, Dr. Weismann, we have as good as beaten them already.' I...thanked him for his constant support for the Zionist course. 'You were standing at the cradle of this enterprise.' I said to him, 'and hopefully you will live to see that we have succeeded.' Adding that after the war we would build up a state of three to four million Jews in Palestine, whereupon he replied: 'Yes, go ahead, I am full in agreement with this idea.'

Independence is never given to a people, it has to be earned; and, once earned, must be defended.

There are no English, French, German or American Jews, but only Jews > > >living in England, France, Germany or America.

Einstein ... always spoke to me of Rutherford in the highest terms, calling him a second Newton.

As scientists the two men were contrasting types—Einstein all calculation, Rutherford all experiment ... There was no doubt that as an experimenter Rutherford was a genius, one of the greatest. He worked by intuition and everything he touched turned to gold. He had a sixth sense.
