"Men like Henry George [ the pioneer..." - Quote by Albert Einstein

“I am content in my later years. I have kept my good humor and take neither myself nor the next person seriously.”

“There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will.”

“I'm no more intelligent than the next guy. I'm just more curious.”

“It is precisely because education is the road to equality and citizenship, that it has been made more elusive for Negroes than many other rights.

Therefore, as Negroes have struggled to be free they have had to fight for the opportunity for a decent education.”

“When a sixth of the population of a nation which has undertaken to be the refuge of liberty are slaves, and a whole country [Mexico] is unjustly overrun and conquered by a foreign army, and subjected to military law, I think that it is not too soon for honest men to rebel and revolutionize. What makes this duty the more urgent is the fact that the country so overrun is not our own, but ours is the invading army.”

“Undoubtedly equality of goods is just; but, being unable to cause might to obey justice, men has made it just to obey might. Unable to strengthen justice, they have justified might--so that the just and the strong should unite, and there should be peace, which is the sovereign good.”

“Coming back to America was, for me, much more of a culture shock than going to India. The people in the Indian countryside don't use their intellect like we do, they use their intuition instead, and their intuition is far more developed than in the rest of the world. Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect in my opinion. That's had a big impact on my work.”

“Fat paunches have lean pates, and dainty bits Make rich the ribs, but backrout quite the wits.”

“If, in any individual, university training produces a taste for refined idleness, a distaste for sustained effort, a barren intellectual arrogance, or a sense of superfluous aloofness from the world of real men who do the world's real work, then it has harmed that individual.”
