Small and Great Problems

“Wenn es sich um Wahrheit und Gerechtigkeit handelt, gibt es nicht die Unterscheidung zwischen kleinen und großen Problemen”
(When it comes to truth and justice, there is no distinction between small and great problems)
Albert Einstein
This quote comes from an unfinished manuscript, the last draft of a speech for the 7th anniversary of the independence of Israel. Albert Einstein died on April 18, 1955.“I speak to you tonight as an American citizen and also as a Jew and as a human being who has always striven to consider matters objectively. What I am trying to do is simply to serve truth and justice with my modest strength. You may think that the conflict between Israel and Egypt is a small and unimportant problem. We have more important concerns you might say. That is not the case. When it comes to truth and justice there is no difference between small and great problems. Whosoever fails to take small matters seriously in a spirit of truth, cannot be trusted in greater affairs...”
