Albert Einstein Quote

"I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves - such an ethical basis I call more proper for a herd of swine.  The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Truth, Goodness, and Beauty."

OK, there is one opinion.  -- Mike, Norwalk      3

Yes, "Truth, Goodness, and Beauty" and Courage! I agree 100%. Happiness is not an 'end' for me, it is simply a 'way.' I am happy when I am happy and unhappy when I am unhappy -- both serve their purposes. I do not live for an 'end' but for the process of life itself in this 'perpetual moment.' ;-)  -- E Archer, NYC      1
The light of the Truth, the Goodness of God, and the Beauty of His Creation, keep me go'in. The Truth of Liberty, the Goodness of Freedom, And the Beauty of a Song, light the path of a long dark night, till the shadows flee away.  -- Ronw13, OR      2

Albert Einstein has always been an inspiration.  I'm not informed of his whole life experiences, he was a product of his time, I'm sure.  He was my primary inspiration for my interest in finding the correct expression for the formula of the ideological nature of Socialism.  "We should work first for pacificism, and only later Socialism."   -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      1
In addition, basically with the lack of knowledge and not understanding what Socialism entailed, no one did before me, even being to the point of apology after being accused before being enlightened by a very special gentleman, I made it an effort to be known as the Socialist after reading a passage by a very unique gentleman by the name of Albert Einstein.  I went out looking for the accusations and found them. No one, other me gets accused of this status. Thank-you Mike and Mr Archer.   -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      1
😜 Sillik, lolololol / hahahaha Is it your god syndrome that justifies you in your delusions?  How about if other than Mr. Archer and me called Stalin or Mao a socialist? That would make your mentally ill hallucination inaccurate.   -- Mike, Norwalk
Mike, Norwalk, Mr Stalin and Chairman just called their exploits, what turned out to be criminal, Socialism. Dr. Einstein pretty much thought, as popularly believed it to be, social programs. Me, its a change of the heart, soul, and mind. You can call Mr Stalin or the Chairman anything you wish.  I choose to call them misguided.  I am merely sincerely following my moral  obligations, as a way of life. I am trying to understand what it really means to be human. I believe you Mike,Norwalk, a child, in that you are constantly trying to discredit and make fun of my position.  I would never make fun of you position, even if you had one.   -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      1
