If we spent half an hour every day in silent immobility, I am convinced that we should conduct all our affairs, personal, national, and international, far more sanely than we do at present (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
All’s well that ends well; which is the epitaph I should put on my tombstone if I were the last man left alive (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
A life devoted to science is therefore a happy life, and its happiness is derived from the very best sources that are open to dwellers on this troubled and passionate planet (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
I do not believe that science per se is an adequate source of happiness, nor do I think that my own scientific outlook has contributed very greatly to my own happiness, which I attribute to defecating twice a day with unfailing regularity (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
I think modern educational theorists are inclined to attach too much importance to the negative virtue of not interfering with children, and too little to the positive merit of enjoying their company (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Life seems to me essentially passion, conflict, rage... It is only intellect that keeps me sane; perhaps this makes me overvalue intellect against feeling (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The tendency of our perceptions is to emphasise increasingly the objective elements in an impression, unless we have some special reason, as artists have, for doing the opposite (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
There is darkness without and when I die there will be darkness within. There is no splendor, nor vastness anywhere; only triviality for a moment and then nothing (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
People seem good while they are oppressed, but they only wish to become oppressors in their turn: life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The fact that a belief has a good moral effect upon a man is no evidence whatsoever in favor of its truth (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
No man who believes that all is for the best in this suffering world can keep his ethical values unimpaired, since he is always having to find excuses for pain and misery (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
I do wish I believed in the life eternal, for it makes me quite miserable to think man is merely a kind of machine endowed, unhappily for himself, with consciousness (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
One of the main causes of trouble in the world is dogmatic and fanatical belief in some doctrine for which there is no adequate evidence (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Moral progress has consisted in the main of protest against cruel customs, and of attempts to enlarge human sympathy (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
It will be found, as men grow more tolerant in their instincts, that many uniformities now insisted upon are useless and even harmful (Bertrand Russell Quotes)

It is only through imagination that men become aware of what the world might be; without it, ‘progress’ would become mechanical and trivial (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
It would now be technically possible to unify the world, abolish war and poverty altogether, if men desired their own happiness more than the misery of their enemies (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
I feel as if one would only discover on one’s death bed what one ought to have lived for (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
One of the troubles about vanity is that it grows with what it feeds on. The more you are talked about, the more you will wish to be talked about (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
While economics is about how people make choice, sociology is about how they don’t have any choice to make (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Another merit of home is that it preserves the diversity between individuals. If we were all alike, it might be convenient for the bureaucrat and the statistician, but it would be very dull, and would lead to a very unprogressive society (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
I cannot escape from the conclusion that the great ages of progress have depended upon a small number of individuals of transcendent ability (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
I believe that the abolition of private ownership of land and capital is a necessary step toward any world in which the nations are to live at peace with one another (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The best life is the one in which the creative impulses play the largest part and the possessive impulses the smallest (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The sea, the stars, the night wind in waste places, mean more to me than even the human beings I love best (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
It is not by delusion, however exalted, that mankind can prosper, but only by unswerving courage in the pursuit of truth (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
