More From Albert Einstein

General welfare is a general condition - maybe sound currency is general welfare, maybe markets, maybe judicial system, maybe a national defense, but this is specific welfare. this justifies the whole welfare state - the military industrial complex, the welfare to foreigners, the welfare state that imprisons our people and impoverishes our people and gives us our recession.

What is the purpose for which masonry exists? its ultimate purpose is the perfection of humanity. mankind it self is still in a period of youth. we are only now beginning to acquire a consciousness of the social aim of civilization, which is man's perfection. such perfection can never end with physical perfection, which is only the means to the end or spiritual perfection.
Spiritual Mean Men
The state, of course, is absolutely indispensable to the preservation of law and order, and the promotion of peace and social cooperation. what is unnecessary and evil, what abridges the liberty and threatens the true welfare of the individual, is the state that has usurped excessive powers and grown beyond its legitimate function - the super-state, the socialist state, the redistributive state, in brief, the ironically misnamed 'welfare state.'

If the white man wants to live in peace with the indian, he can live in peace. treat all men alike. give them all the same law. give them all an even chance to live and grow. all men were made by the same great spirit chief. they are all brothers. the earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and i will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.
Mother Teacher Brother
The welfare state corrupts family life. even democrats have acknowledged the destructive consequences of the welfare state on the underclass. it has rendered vast numbers of male unnecessary to females, who have looked to the state to support them and their children (and the more children, the more state support) rather than to husbands. in effect, these women took the state as their husband.
Children Husband Numbers
Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.

Similar Quotes
It always seemed to me that the herbaceous peony is the very epitome of june. larger than any rose, it has something of the cabbage rose's voluminous quality; and when it finally drops from the vase, it sheds its petticoats with a bump on the table, all in an intact heap, much as a rose will suddenly fall, making us look up from our book or conversation, to notice for one moment the death of what had still appeared to be a living beauty.

I've been really into a light, bright playfulness that's been missing. i looked at these '60s and '70s photos of jackie o. she went to capri every summer, but she was always a little more playful, a little more colorful, than she was in 'normal' life. and it was exciting to see her a little bit "off duty." the colors are from awning stripe umbrellas, from a really clear ocean, and from ripe citrus.

I'd finished the first two [books] and they were going to to be published, and [editor] said, "we need you to write a summary that will drive people to these books." and it took forever. i couldn't think of a thing to say. i looked at the back of other children's books that were full of giddy praise and corny rhetorical questions, you know, "will she have a better time at summer camp than she thinks?" "how will she escape from the troll's dungeon?" all these terrible, terrible summaries of books, and i just couldn't.
