Maybe this advice is the best dispensed human prescription on how to treat one another.
Henry Pachter once went to visit the famous physicist, Albert Einstein. Mrs. Einstein opened the door and called out behind her, “Albert, an autograph!”
The professor was at the time reviled by reactionaries who complained that Einstein was “relativizing everything.” Einstein materialized briefly to hand the student a piece of paper with his signature and the following advice: “Goodness and strong character are better than intelligence and learning.”
- Henry Pachter, Weimar Studies
