"Great spirits have always found violent opposition..." - Quote by Albert Einstein

“I am an adherent of the ideal of democracy, although I well know the weaknesses of the democratic form of government. Social equality and economic protection of the individual appeared to me always as the important communal aims of the state. Although I am a typical loner in daily life, my consciousness of belonging to the invisible community of those who strive for truth, beauty, and justice has preserved me from feeling isolated.”

“I believe in standardizing automobiles. I do not believe in standardizing human beings. Standardization is a great peril which threatens American culture.”

“How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought which is independent of experience, is so admirably appropriate to the objects of reality?”

“Disciples be damned. It's not interesting. It's only the masters that matter. Those who create.”

“Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.”

“An individual is as superb as a nation when he has the qualities which make a superb nation.”

“Dignity of human nature requires that we must face the storms of life.”

“The future doesn't frighten me, even if it threatens to be full of other difficulties.”

“We forget that there is much more patriotism in having the audacity to differ from the majority than in running before the crowd; we forget that in the resistance of the minority some of the biggest things in our own history have been accomplished, and the man who looks on the Stars and Stripes and doesn't hold a right to say nay to his neighbor, even if the neighbor is of the larger party, has forgotten the history of his country.”
