"O culto aos indivíduos sempre é, em minha opinião, injustificado. Na verdade, a natureza distribui seus bens desigualmente entre seus filhos, mas, graças a Deus, há muitos bem dotados, e eu estou plenamente convencido de que eles levam vidas tranqüilas e discretas. A mim parece injusto e mesmo de mau gosto escolher alguns para admiração ilimitada, atribuindo a eles poderes sobre-humanos de mente e personalidade."
Albert Einstein, após visitar os EEUU pela 1ª vez.
Retirado do livro Viajando com o cérebro de Einstein, LEIA.

Doel-taal: Engels

"The cult of the individual is always, in my view, unjustified. In fact, nature distributes her gifts variously among her children, but thank God, there are plenty of the well-endowed ones and I am firmly convinced that most of them live quiet and discreet lives. It strikes me as unfair and even in bad taste to select a few of them for boundless admiration, attributing superhuman powers of mind and personality to them."
Albert Einstein after visiting the USA for the first time.

Nice translation, Angelus. Two comments:

1) I think that the normal term in English is "the cult of the individual".

2) What is EEUU?

Hi Angelus, Kafetzou, Thatha

EEUU is "USA", as there is a plural in the long version, "Estados Unidos", the abbreviation also takes on the plural form.

Just a question:
It isn't nature distributes its gifts? Or can be her?

They're both acceptable, but I'll leave it as is - we say "mother nature", so we think of nature as female.

[Some Notes on my American Impression]

The cult of individual personalities is always, in my view, unjustified. To be sure, nature distributes her gifts variously among her children. But there are plenty of the well-endowed ones too, thank God, and I am firmly convinced that most of them live quiet, unregarded lives. It strikes me as unfair, and even in bad taste, to select a few of them fur boundless admiration, attributing superhuman powers of mind and character to them. This has been my fate, and the contrast between the popular estimate of my powers and achievements and the reality is simply grotesque. The consciousness of this extraordinary state of affairs would be unbearable but for one great consoling thought: it is a welcome symptom in an age which is commonly denounced as materialistic, that it makes heroes of men whose ambitions lie wholly in the intellectual and moral sphere. This proves that knowledge and justice are ranked above wealth and power by a large section of the human race. My experience teaches me that this idealistic outlook is particularly prevalent in America, which is usually decried as a particularly materialistic country.
