BEST QUOTES ON WAR, PEACE, PACIFISM- ALBERT EINSTEIN

QUOTES BY ALBERT EINSTEIN ON WAR, PEACE, PACIFISM:

"Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."

"Only through perils and upheavals 

can Nations be brought to further developments.
 May the present upheavals lead to a better world."

"I made one great mistake in my life, when I signed the letter to Franklin D. Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made."

"My pacifism is not based on any intellectual theory but on a deep antipathy to every form of cruelty and hatred."

"Every man has a right over his own life and war destroys lives that were full of promise."

"I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace."

"Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war." 

"The goal of pacifism is possible only though a supranational organization. To stand unconditionally for this cause is the criterion of true pacifism."

"We must begin to inculcate our children against militarism by educating them in the spirit of pacifism. Our schoolbooks glorify war and conceal it’s horror. I would teach peace rather than war."

"Today, in twelve countries, young men are resisting conscription and refusing military service. They are the pioneers of a warless world."

"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 suffice."

"Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism – how passionately I hate them!"

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

"There will be no peace on earth, the wounds inflicted by the war will not heal, until this internationalism is restored."

"The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one."

"The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking… the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker."

"I appeal to all men and women, whether they be eminent or humble, to declare that they will refuse to give any further assistance to war or the preparation of war."

"I am not only a pacifist, but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace… Is it not better for a man to die for a cause in which he believes, such as peace, than to suffer for a cause in which he does not believe, such as war?"

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
