- Albert Einstein

About this Quote

Albert Einstein's quote talks to the power of individuals to bring about peace. He is advocating for a militant pacifism, which suggests that he wants to eliminate for peace, however not through violence. He thinks that the only method to end war is for people to decline to take part in it. This is a powerful statement, as it indicates that the people have the power to cause peace, and that war is not inescapable. It also implies that peace is something that must be actively fought for, and that it is not something that will merely happen on its own. Einstein's quote is a suggestion that peace is something that needs to be actively pursued, which it is within our power to make it take place.
