"Experience alone can decide on truth...." - Quote by 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 in this cause. The example of great and pure characters is the only thing that can produce fine ideas and noble deeds. Money only appeals to selfishness and always tempts its owners irresistibly to abuse it”

“Striving for peace and preparing for war are incompatible with each other, and in our time more so than ever.”

“Capitalism creates a huge community of producers who are unceasingly striving to deprive each other of the fruits of their collective labor, and an oligarchy that cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized society....the subjugation is not by force but because the privileged class has long ago established a system of values by which the people were thenceforth, to a large extent unconsciously, guided in their social behavior.”

“Of all ebriosity, who does not prefer to be intoxicated by the air he breathes?”

“It's [motherhood] the biggest on-the-job- training program in existence today.”

“Experience is the only teacher we have. We may talk and reason all our lives, but we shall not understand a word of truth until we experience it ourselves.”

“It is the fault of our rhetoric that we cannot strongly state one fact without seeming to belie some other.”

“There was no really good true war book during the entire four years of the war. The only true writing that came through during the war was in poetry. One reason for this is that poets are not arrested as quickly as prose writers.”

“Never exaggerate. Never say more than you really mean.”
