More quotes by Bertrand Russell
A priori Logical propositions are such as can be known a priori without study of the actual world.
Bertrand Russell
When all experts agree, you need to watch out.
Bertrand Russell
The secrets to happiness include enterprise, exploration of one's interests and the overcoming of obstacles.
Bertrand Russell
Not to be absolutely certain is, I think, one of the essential things in rationality.
Bertrand Russell
The taboo against nakedness is an obstacle to a decent attitude on the subject of sex.
Bertrand Russell
The governors of the world believe, and have always believed, that virtue can only be taught by teaching falsehood, and that any man who knew the truth would be wicked. I disbelieve this, absolutely and entirely. I believe that love of truth is the basis of all real virtue, and that virtues based upon lies can only do harm.
Bertrand Russell
Obscenity is whatever happens to shock some elderly and ignorant magistrate.
Bertrand Russell
Unless you assume a God, the question of life's purpose is meaningless.
Bertrand Russell
The desire to understand the world and the desire to reform it are the two great engines of progress, without which human society would stand still or retrogress.
Bertrand Russell
There lies before us, if we choose, continual progress in happiness, knowledge and wisdom. Shall we instead choose death, because we cannot forget our quarrels? I appeal as a human being to human beings remember your humanity, and forget the rest.
Bertrand Russell
A sense of duty is useful in work but offensive in personal relations. People wish to be liked, not to be endured with patient resignation.
Bertrand Russell
My sad conviction is that people can only agree about what they're not really interested in.
Bertrand Russell
Science is what we know, and philosophy is what we don't know.
Bertrand Russell
Artists are on the average less happy than men of science.
Bertrand Russell
The demand for certainty is one which is natural to man, but is nevertheless an intellectual vice. If you take your children for a picnic on a doubtful day, they will demand a dogmatic answer as to whether it will be fine or wet, and be disappointed in you when you cannot be sure.
Bertrand Russell
Happiness, as is evident, depends partly upon external circumstances and partly upon oneself.
Bertrand Russell
Human life, its growth, its hopes, fears, loves, et cetera, are the result of accidents
Bertrand Russell
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens.
Bertrand Russell
Americans need rest, but do not know it. I believe this to be a large part of the explanation of the crime wave in the United States.
Bertrand Russell
Calculus required continuity, and continuity was supposed to require the infinitely little but nobody could discover what the infinitely little might be.
Bertrand Russell
