He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my
contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the
spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be
done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all
this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds
than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing
under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder. --Albert EinsteinChildren are all foreigners. --Ralph Waldo Emerson

Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.
--Albert Einstein

Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is
acknowledged.
