Text Quotes
Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, the chief glory of man (Bertrand Russell Quotes)

The world in which we live can be understood as a result of muddle and accident; but if it is the outcome of deliberate purpose, the purpose must have been that of a fiend. For my part, I find accident a less painful and more plausible hypothesis (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Modern definitions of truth, such as those as pragmatism and instrumentalism, which are practical rather than contemplative, are inspired by industrialisation as opposed to aristocracy (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Physics, owing to the simplicity of its subject matter, has reached a higher state of development than any other science (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
You are a wicked motorcar, and I shall not give you any more petrol until you go (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Love cannot exists as a duty; to tell a child that it ought to love its parents and its brother and sisters is utterly useless, if not worse (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
When a man tells you that he knows the exact truth about anything you are safe in inferring that he is an inexact man (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Calculus required continuity, and continuity was supposed to require the infinitely little; but nobody could discover what the infinitely little might be (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Ordinary language is totally unsuited for expressing what physics really asserts, since the words of everyday life are not sufficiently abstract. Only mathematics and mathematical logic can say as little as the physicist means to say (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Those who in principle oppose birth control are either incapable of arithmetic or else in favour of war, pestilence and famine as permanent features of human life (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Throughout the long period of religious doubt, I had been rendered very unhappy by the gradual loss of belief, but when the process was completed, I found to my surprise that I was quite glad to be done with the whole subject (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
If a philosophy is to bring happiness it should be inspired by kindly feelings. Marx pretended that he wanted the happiness of the proletariat; what he really wanted was the unhappiness of the bourgeois (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
To a modern mind, it is difficult to feel enthusiastic about a virtuous life if nothing is going to be achieved by it (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The more we realize our minuteness and our impotence in the face of cosmic forces, the more amazing becomes what human beings have achieved (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Emphatic and reiterated assertion, especially during childhood, produces in most people a belief so firm as to have a hold even over the unconscious (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
For over two thousand years it has been the custom among earnest moralists to decry happiness as something degraded and unworthy (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
In any closet, you can find it, if it is too small, or out of style, or there is just one of it where there should be two (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Most political leaders acquire their position by causing large numbers of people to believe that these leaders are actuated by altruistic desires (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
When conscious activity is wholly concentrated on some one definite purpose, the ultimate result, for most people, is lack of balance accompanied by some form of nervous disorder (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Worry is a form of fear, and all forms of fear produce fatigue. A man who has learned not to feel fear will find the fatigue of daily life enormously diminished (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
A habit of basing convictions upon evidence, and of giving to them only that degree or certainty which the evidence warrants, would, if it became general, cure most of the ills from which the world suffers (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
I do not believe that I am now dreaming, but I cannot prove that I am not (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Science tells us what we can know, but what we can know is little, and if we forget how much we cannot know we become insensitive to many things of great importance (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The pleasure of work is open to anyone who can develop some specialised skill, provided that he can get satisfaction from the exercise of his skill without demanding universal applause (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
Law in origin was merely a codification of the power of dominant groups, and did not aim at anything that to a modern man would appear to be justice (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The man who only loves beautiful things is dreaming, whereas the man who knows absolute beauty is wide awake (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The teacher, like the artist and the philosopher, can perform his work adequately only if he feels himself to be an individual directed by an inner creative impulse, not dominated and fettered by an outside authority (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
The discipline in your life should be one determined by your own desires and your own needs, not put upon you by society or authority (Bertrand Russell Quotes)
