More quotes by Bertrand Russell
Facts have to be discovered by observation, not by reasoning
Bertrand Russell
If all our happiness is bound up entirely in our personal circumstances it is difficult not to demand of life more than it has to give.
Bertrand Russell
I think that there is far too much work done in the world, that immense harm is caused by the belief that work is virtuous, and that what needs to be preached in modern industrial countries is quite different from what always has been preached.
Bertrand Russell
Language serves not only to express thought but to make possible thoughts which could not exist without it.
Bertrand Russell
Measures of sterilization should, in my opinion, be very definitely confined to persons who are mentally defective

Bertrand Russell
The luxury to disparage freedom is the privilege of those who already possess it.
Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
I consider the official Catholic attitude on divorce, birth control, and censorship exceedingly dangerous to mankind.
Bertrand Russell
No satisfaction based upon self-deception is solid.
Bertrand Russell
Our beliefs are, however, often contrary to fact.
Bertrand Russell
In all the creative work that I have done, what has come first is a problem, a puzzle involving discomfort.
Bertrand Russell
The man who only loves beautiful things is dreaming, whereas the man who knows absolute beauty is wide awake.
Bertrand Russell
Through the greatness of the universe, which philosophy contemplates, the mind also is rendered great, and becomes capable of that union with the universe which constitutes its highest good.
Bertrand Russell
We love our habits more than our income, often more than our life.
Bertrand Russell
Education ought to foster the wish for truth, not the conviction that some particular creed is the truth.
Bertrand Russell
Either man will abolish war, or war will abolish man.
Bertrand Russell
