4. To quote Einstein:
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." To be perfectly honest, I have no use for patriotism. It only serves to dived humanity against itself.

5. My favorite quote by Mark Twain...
“It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.”
