Bertrand Russell
Measures of sterilization should, in my opinion, be very definitely confined to persons who are mentally defective
Bertrand Russell
Philosophy, from the earliest times, has made greater claims, and achieved fewer results, than any other branch of learning.
Bertrand Russell
Hitler is an outcome of Rousseau.
Bertrand Russell
We must be sceptical even of our scepticism.
Bertrand Russell
Next to worry probably one of the most potent causes of unhappiness is envy.
Bertrand Russell
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
I suggest to young professors that their first work should be written in a jargon only to be understood by the erudite few. With that behind them, they can ever after say what they have to say in a language 'understand of the people.'
Bertrand Russell
