Mankind has become so much one family that we cannot insure our own prosperity except by insuring that of everyone else (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Education, which was at first made universal in order that all might be able to read and write, has been found capable of serving quite other purposes. By instilling nonsense it unifies populations and generates collective enthusiasm (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Envy... is one form of a vice, partly moral, partly intellectual, which consists in seeing things never in themselves but only in their relations (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The human heart as modern civilization has made it is more prone to hatred than to friendship. And it is prone to hatred because it is dissatisfied (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The dictum that human nature cannot be changed is one of those tiresome platitudes that conceal from the ignorant the depths of their own ignorance (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
It is only in marriage with the world that our ideals can bear fruit; divorced from it, they remain barren (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
I think periods of browsing during which no occupation is imposed from without are important in youth because they give time for the formation of these apparently fugitive but really vital impressions (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Love, children, and work, are the great sources of fertilizing contact between the individual and the rest of the world (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
When the journey from means to end is not too long, the means themselves are enjoyed if the end is ardently desired (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
We are all prone to the malady of the introvert who with the manifold spectacle of the world spread out before him, turns away and gazes only upon the emptiness within (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Ethical metaphysics is fundamentally an attempt, however disguised, to give legislative force to our own wishes (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Ideas and principles that do harm are as a rule, though not always, cloaks for evil passions (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The desire to understand the world and the desire to reform it are the two great engines of progress, without which human society would stand still or retrogress. It’s coexistence or no existence (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Religions which have any very strong hold over men’s actions have generally some instinctive basis (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Reason may be a small force, but it is constant, and works always in one direction, while the forces of unreason destroy one another in futile strife (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
To be happy in this world, especially when youth is past, it is necessary to feel oneself not merely an isolated individual whose day will soon be over, but part of the stream of life slowing on from the first germ to the remote and unknown future (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
We know that the exercise of virtue should be its own reward, and it seems to follow that the enduring of it on the part of the patient should be its own punishment (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The first step in wisdom, as well as in morality, is to open the windows of the ego as wide as possible (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
No matter how eloquently a dog may bark, he cannot tell you that his parents were poor, but honest (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Unless one is taught what to do with success after getting it, achievement of it must inevitably leave him prey to boredom (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The most valuable things in life are not measured in monetary terms. The really important things are not houses and lands, stocks and bonds, automobiles and real state, but friendships, trust, confidence, empathy, mercy, love and faith (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
We know too much and feel too little. At least, we feel too little of those creative emotions from which a good life springs (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Hatred of enemies is easier and more intense than love of friends. But from men who are more anxious to injure opponents than to benefit the world at large no great good is to be expected (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
To expect a personality to survive the disintegration of the brain is like expecting a cricket club to survive when all of its members are dead (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
With civilized men..., it is, I think, chiefly love of excitement which makes the populace applaud when war breaks out; the emotion is exactly the same as at a football match, although the results are sometimes somewhat more serious (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Our instinctive emotions are those that we have inherited from a much more dangerous world, and contain, therefore, a larger portion of fear than they should (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Love as a relation between men and women was ruined by the desire to make sure of the legitimacy of children (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
It is in our hearts that evil lies, and it is from our hearts that it must be plucked out (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
