I always check Einstein quotes since everyone makes them up. The source of the quote I posted is in the image. I had first read about the intended speech in Einstein: The Life and Times, by Ronald W.

For example, if someone were to attack my family and the only way to stop them was to use so much force that it killed them, I would not hesitate to kill them. Surely we can admit this might happen on a much larger scale sometimes with nations. It IS possible to be in the right and also be killing people. Just pointing that out.
