"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)

(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. "
