"Innumerable voices have been asserting for some time now that human society is passing through a crisis, that its stability has been gravely shattered. It is characteristic of such a situation that individuals feel indifferent or even hostile toward the group, small or large, to which they belong. In order to illustrate my meaning, let me record here a personal experience. I recently discussed with an intelligent and well-disposed man the threat of another war, which in my opinion would seriously endanger the existence of mankind, and I remarked that only a supranational organization would offer protection from that danger. Thereupon my visitor, very calmly and coolly, said to me: "Why are you so deeply opposed to the disappearance of the human race?"	Albert Einstein
"All of us who are concerned for peace and triumph of reason and justice must be keenly aware how small an influence reason and honest good will exert upon events in the political field."	Albert Einstein
"One cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war."	Albert Einstein
"As long as there are sovereign nations possessing great power, war is inevitable."	Albert Einstein
"I am absolutely convinced that no wealth in the world can help humanity forward, even in the hands of the most devoted worker. The example of great and pure individuals is the only thing that can lead us to noble thoughts and deeds. Money only appeals to selfishness and irresistibly invites abuse. Can anyone imagine Moses, Jesus or Ghandi armed with the money-bags of Carnegie?"	Albert Einstein
"Of what significance is one's one existence, one is basically unaware. What does a fish know about the water in which he swims all his life? The bitter and the sweet come from outside. The hard from within, from one's own efforts. For the most part I do what my own nature drives me to do. It is embarrassing to earn such respect and love for it."	Albert Einstein
"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."	Albert Einstein
"I don't know how man will fight World War III, but I do know how they will fight World War IV; with sticks and stones."	Albert Einstein
"If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed."	Albert Einstein
"The skull lay tilted in such a manner that it stared, sightless, up at me as though I, too, were already caught a few feet above him in the strata and, in my turn, were staring upward at that strip of sky which the ages were carrying farther away from me."	Loren
"Like the herd animals we are, we sniff warily at the strange one among us."	Loren
"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity."	Dwight David Eisenhower
"What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight-it's the size of the fight in the dog."	Dwight David Eisenhower
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."	Dwight David Eisenhower
"From this day forward, the millions of our schoolchildren will daily proclaim in every city and town, every village and rural schoolhouse, the dedication of our nation and our people to the Almighty." (On signing law for inclusion of the words 'under God' in the Pledge of Allegiance, 14 Jun 54)"	Dwight David Eisenhower
"We have inadvertently designed a system in which being good at what you do as a teacher is not formally rewarded, while being poor at what you do is seldom corrected nor penalized."	Elliot Wayne Eisner
"The upward course of a nation's history is due in the long run to the soundness of heart of its average men and women."	Elizabeth II
"I cannot lead you into battle. I do not give you laws or administer justice but I can do something else-I can give my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations."	Elizabeth II
"I have heard with admiring submission the experience of the lady who declared that the sense of being well-dressed gives a feeling of inward tranquillity which religion is powerless to bestow."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
"The thirst for adventure is the vent which Destiny offers; a war, a crusade, a gold mine, a new country, speak to the imagination and offer swing and play to the confined powers."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
