BEST QUOTES ON POLITICS, JUSTICE, MORALITY- ALBERT EINSTEIN

ALBERT EINSTEIN QUOTES ON POLITICS, JUSTICE, MORALITY:

"Never do anything against conscience, even if the state demands it."

"Relativity applies to physics, not ethics."

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

"Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population."

"The most important human endeavor is the striving for morality in our actions. Our inner balance and even our very existence depend on it. Only morality in our actions can give beauty and dignity to life."

"One must shy away from questionable undertakings, even when they bear a high-sounding name."
"Without ‘ethical culture’ there is no salvation for humanity."

"Fulfillment on the moral and aesthetic side is a goal which lies closer to the preoccupations of art than it does to those of science."

"In two weeks the sheep like masses of any country can be worked up by the newspaper into such a state of excited fury that men are prepared to put on uniforms and kill and be killed, for the sake of the sordid ends of a few interested parties."

"In politics not only are leaders lacking, but the independence of spirit and the sense of justice of the citizen have to a great extent declined."

"The cult of individuals is always, in my view, unjustified."

"An empty stomach is not a good political adviser."

"Ethical axioms are found and tested not very differently from the axioms of science. Truth is what stands the test of experience."

"Force always attracts men of low morality, and I believe it to be an invariable rule that tyrants of genius are succeeded by scoundrels."

"Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced."

"I wouldn’t have thought it possible that there could exist such heartless and outright wicked people?"

"I believe that we have to content ourselves with our imperfect knowledge and understanding and treat values and moral obligations as a purely human problem, the most important of all human problems."

"It is the duty of every citizen according to his best capacities to give validity to his convictions in political affairs."

"Everyone is aware of the difficult and menacing situation in which human society, shrunk into one community with a common fate, finds itself, but only a few act accordingly."

"I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth will be killed."

"Everyone should be respected as an individual, but no one idolized."

" Morality is of the highest importance but for us, not for God."

Thank you all for accepting me. Thank you very much. Well, I always start my talk with some disclaimer. And that disclaimer is that I never claimed to be a motivational speaker. Yes, I do speak. But I feel like a storyteller. Because where ever I go I share a story with everyone. I believe in the power of words. Many people speak before they think. But I know the value of words. Words can make you, break you, they can heal your soul, they can damage you forever. So, I always try to use positive words in my life. Wherever I go, they call it adversity, I call it opportunity. They call it a weakness, I call it strength. They call m

Sindhutai Sapkal - a ‘mother’ to over 1400 homeless children: Born on  born on 14 November, 1948 at  Pimpri Meghe  village in  Wardha  district of  Maharashtra, India. She was keen on completing her education and used Bharadi tree leaves to write as the family could not afford a slate. Her early marriage put an end to her desire to study. She got married at a tender age of 10 to a 30-year old man. Her abusive husband beat her up and threw her out of the house when she was 20 and nine-months pregnant. She gave birth to a baby girl in a cow shelter outside their house the same day and walked a few kilometres in that condition to her mother’s place, who refused to give shelter to her. “ I cut the umbilical cord with a sharp-edged stone lying nearby ,” she recalls. The incident deeply affected her and she thought of committing suicide, but gave up that thought and started begging at railway platforms for food to look after her daughter. As she spent more time begging, she realized t
