"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
Einstein.

"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."

Einstein Again

 

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain. -- John Adams in letter to Abigail Adams, May 12, 1780

"Boys don't touch boys" - Deaner

The story:

Three men live in a basement suite and two men are in the kitchen "cooking" the one man jumps on the back of the other man trying to get the spatula, then topple over the sink. The man on the back starts spanking him and the parents walk into the open door. Deaner shouts... after standing there for a few minutes... "Boys don't touch boys"... the mom... she just smiled, dropped her food and walked away...

 

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction."

 

Albert Einstein - gets my vote.

 

If we practice and eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, soon the whole world will be blind and toothless.
