Truths from a genius

 
"The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that created them."— Albert Einstein

"Unless Americans come to realize that they are not stronger in the world because they have the bomb but weaker because of their vulnerability to atomic attack, they are not likely to conduct their policy at Lake Success [the United Nations] or in their relations with Russia in a spirit that furthers the arrival at an understanding." 1947 — Albert Einstein

"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable loce-of-country stance, 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."— Albert Einstein

"Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind."— Albert Einstein

"Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters." — Albert Einstein

"Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding." — Albert Einstein

"The pioneers of a warless world are the youth who refuse military service." — Albert Einstein

"Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding."— Albert Einstein

“Never do anything against conscience — even if the state demands it.” — Albert Einstein

“You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.” — Albert Einstein

"It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."— Albert Einstein
 
"It may affront the military-minded person to suggest a reqime that does not maintain any military secrets." — Albert Einstein
 
"Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced." — Albert Einstein
 
"It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man."— Albert Einstein
