Is this really an Albert Einstein quote? And what does it mean in English (from French)?
It’s a misquote from Einstein’s “Mein Weltbild”. This version says “Society is at out service. We don’t have to be its slaves” The correct quotation in French would be something like “L’Etat est notre serviteur et nous n’avons pas à en être les esclaves”. In English this translates as “The State is our servant, and not we its slaves”. As Einstein wrote in German there are numerous translations and variants.
