"Heroes for a Culture of Peace"

"There's been a quantum leap technologically in our age, but unless there's another quantum leap in human relations, unless we learn to live in a new way towards one another, there will be a catastrophe." (Albert Einstein 1879-1955)

I think the "broken" link in the post at Nov 13, 2008 12:05 above was meant to
be (as at): http://tinyurl.com/6m6hxx (based on Google search for references to the
quotation: "The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.")

A few more of Albert Einstein's comments on life (taken from
http://www.cultureofpeace.com/heroes/pages-e/einstein-quotes.htm ), which appear
to be still very relevant some 53 years or so after his death, are provided
below:

"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."

"One has to realize that the powerful industrial groups concerned in the
manufacture of arms are doing their best in all countries to prevent the
peaceful settlement of international disputes, and that rulers can achieve this
great end only if they are sure of the vigorous support of the majority of their
peoples."

"There's been a quantum leap technologically in our age, but unless there's
another quantum leap in human relations, unless we learn to live in a new way
towards one another, there will be a catastrophe."
