Text Quotes
Your writing is never as good as you hoped; but never as bad as you feared (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Conquer the world by intelligence, and not merely by being slavishly subdued by the terror that comes from it (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Man is a rational animal. So at least we have been told. Throughout a long life I have searched diligently for evidence in favor of this statement. So far, I have not had the good fortune to come across it (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
All the labor of all the ages, all the devotion, all the inspiration, all the noonday brightness of human genius are destined to extinction. So now, my friends, if that is true, and it is true, what is the point? (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Collective wisdom, alas, is no adequate substitute for the intelligence of individuals. Individuals who opposed received opinions have been the source of all progress, both moral and intellectual. They have been unpopular, as was natural (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
A good world needs knowledge, kindliness, and courage; it does not need a regretful hankering after the past or a fettering of the free intelligence by the words uttered long ago by ignorant men (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
It seems to me a fundamental dishonesty, and a fundamental treachery to intellectual integrity to hold a belief because you think it’s useful and not because you think it’s true (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
There lies before us, if we choose, continual progress in happiness, knowledge and wisdom. Shall we instead choose death, because we cannot forget our quarrels? I appeal as a human being to human beings; remember your humanity, and forget the rest (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
To the primitive mind, everything is either friendly or hostile; but experience has shown that friendliness and hostility are not the conceptions by which the world is to be understood (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Never let yourself be diverted, either by what you wish to believe, or what you think could have beneficent social effects if it were believed; but look only and solely at what are the facts (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The wise man will be as happy as circumstances permit, and if he finds the contemplation of the universe painful beyond a point, he will contemplate something else instead (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The man who pursues happiness wisely will aim at the possession of a number of subsidiary interests in addition to those central ones upon which his life is built (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Altogether it will be found that a quiet life is characteristic of great men, and that their pleasures have not been of the sort that would look exciting to the outward eye (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The search for something permanent is one of the deepest of the instincts leading men to philosophy (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
To like many people spontaneously and without effort is perhaps the greatest of all sources of personal happiness (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent than in passive agreement, for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper agreement than the latter (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
As soon as we abandon our reason and are content to rely on authority, there is no end to our troubles (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Most of the greatest evils that man has inflicted upon man have come through people feeling quite certain about something which, in fact, was false (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The habit of looking to the future and thinking that the whole meaning of the present lies in what it will bring forth is a pernicious one. There can be no value in the whole unless there is value in the parts (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The average man’s opinions are much less foolish than they would be if he thought for himself (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Brief and powerless is man’s life; on him and all his race the slow, sure doom falls pitiless and dark (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Public opinion is always more tyrannical towards those who obviously fear it than towards those who feel indifferent to it (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The satisfaction to be derived from success in a great constructive enterprise is one of the most massive that life has to offer (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Fundamental happiness depends more than anything else upon what may be called a friendly interest in persons and things (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
A world full of happiness is not beyond human power to create; the obstacles imposed by inanimate nature are not insuperable. The real obstacles lie in the heart of man, and the cure for these is a firm hope, informed and fortified by thought (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
It appeared to me obvious that the happiness of mankind should be the aim of all action, and I discovered to my surprise that there were those who thought otherwise (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
There are certain things that our age needs. It needs, above all, courageous hope and the impulse to creativeness (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
There is no excuse for deceiving children. And when, as must happen in conventional families, they find that their parents have lied, they lose confidence in them and feel justified in lying to them (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Boys and girls should be taught respect for each other’s liberty... and that jealousy and possessiveness kill love (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
St. Paul introduced an entirely novel view of marriage, that it existed primarily to prevent the sin of fornication. It is just as if one were to maintain that the sole reason for baking bread is to prevent people from stealing cake (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
