Bertrand Russell
The essence of good manners consists in making it clear that one has no wish to hurt. When it is clearly necessary to hurt, it must be done in such a way as to make it evident that the necessity is felt to be regrettable.
Bertrand Russell
The examination system, and the fact that instruction is treated mainly as a training for a livelihood, leads the young to regard knowledge from a purely utilitarian point of view as the road to money, not as the gateway to wisdom.
Bertrand Russell
If we compare Europe with other continents, it is marked out as [another] persecuting continent.
Bertrand Russell
To fear love is to fear life.
Bertrand Russell
How much good it would do if one could exterminate the human race.
Bertrand Russell
Arithmetic must be discovered in just the same sense in which Columbus discovered the West Indies, and we no more create numbers than he created the Indians.
Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
