The Devil Craps On The Big Pile

A Hundred Times Every Day I Remind Myself That My Inner And Outer Life Are Based On The Labors Of Others.

If One Holds These High Principles Clearly Before One's Eyes, And Compares Them With The Life And Spirit Of Our Times, Then It Appears Glaringly That Civilized Mankind Finds Itself At Present In Grave Danger. In The Totalitarian States It Is The Rulers Themselves Who Strive Actually To Destroy That Spirit Of Humanity. In Less Threatened Parts It Is Nationalism And Intolerance, As Well As The Oppression Of The Individuals By Economic Means, Which Threaten To Choke These Most Precious Traditions.

It Is My Inner Conviction That The Development Of Science Seeks In The Main To Satisfy The Longing For Pure Knowledge.

What Lead Me More Or Less Directly To The Special Theory Of Relativity Was The Conviction That The Electromotive Force Acting On A Body In Motion In A Magnetic Field Was Nothing Else But An Electric Field.

Do You Remember How Electrical Currents And 'unseen Waves' Were Laughed At? The Knowledge About Man Is Still In Its Infancy.
