Text Quotes
What will be the good of the conquest of leisure and health, if no one remembers how to use them?  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) Even in the most purely logical realms, it is insight that first arrives at what is new  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) The law of causality, I believe, like much that passes muster among philosophers, is a relic of a bygone age, surviving, like the monarchy, only because it is erroneously supposed to do no harm  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) The reformative effect of punishment is a belief that dies hard, chiefly I think, because it is so satisfying to our sadistic impulses  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is more inconvenient when you try to conceal it  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool’s paradise, for only a fool will think that is happiness  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) The true spirit of delight... is to be found in mathematics as surely as in poetry  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) The more things a man is interested in, the more opportunities of happiness he has and the less he is at the mercy of fate, since if he loses one thing he can fall back upon another  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) A good notation has a subtlety and suggestiveness which at times make it almost seem like a live teacher  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) Science does not aim at establishing immutable truths and eternal dogmas; its aim is to approach the truth by successive approximations, without claiming that at any stage final and complete accuracy has been achieved  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) In human relations one should penetrate to the core of loneliness in each person and speak to that  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) Even if we could be certain that one of the world’s religions were perfectly true, given the sheer number of conflicting faiths on offer, every believer should expect damnation purely as a matter of probability  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) I know a parson who frightened his congregation terribly by telling them the second coming was very imminent indeed, but they were much consoled when they found he was planting trees in his garden  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) ... impregnation will be regarded in an entirely different manner, more in the light of a surgical operation, so that it will be thought not ladylike to have it performed in the natural manner  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) At first it seems obvious, but the more you think about it the stranger the deductions from this axiom seem to become; in the end you cease to understand what is meant by it  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) When the state intervenes to insure the indoctrination of some doctrine, it does so because there is no conclusive evidence in favor of that doctrine  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) The pure mathematician, like the musician, is a free creator of his world of ordered beauty  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) Boys and young men acquire readily the moral sentiments of their social milieu, whatever these sentiments may be  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) Although this may seem a paradox, all exact science is based on the idea of approximation. If a man tells you he knows a thing exactly, then you can be safe in inferring that you are speaking to an inexact man  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) Curious learning not only makes unpleasant things less unpleasant but also makes pleasant things more pleasant  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) If you wish to be happy yourself, you must resign yourself to seeing others also happy  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) The solution of the difficulties which formerly surrounded the mathematical infinite is probably the greatest achievement of which our age has to boast  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) One’s work is never so bad as it appears on bad days, nor so good as it appears on good days  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) ... the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) Undoubtedly the desire for food has been and still is one of the main causes of political events  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) My sad conviction is that people can only agree about what they’re not really interested in  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) A man’s acts are partly determined by spontaneous impulse, partly by the conscious and unconscious effects of the various groups to which he belongs  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) Science is no substitute for virtue; the heart is as necessary for a good life as the head  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) A marriage is likely to be called happy if neither party ever expected to get much happiness out of it  (Bertrand Russell Quotes) There is something feeble and a little contemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without the help of comfortable myths. Almost inevitably some part of him is aware that they are myths and that he believes them only because they are comforting. But he dare not face this thought! Moreover, since he is aware, however dimly, that his opinions are not rational, he becomes furious when they are disputed  (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
