Self-respect will keep a man from being abject when he is in the power of enemies, and will enable him to feel that he may be in the right when the world is against him.

More quotes by Bertrand Russell
No one gossips about other people's secret virtues.
Bertrand Russell
America... where law and custom alike are based upon the dreams of spinsters...
Bertrand Russell
William James used to preach the will-to-believe. For my part, I should wish to preach the will-to-doubt. None of our beliefs are quite true all at least have a penumbra of vagueness and error. What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the will to find out, which is the exact opposite.
Bertrand Russell
We must be sceptical even of our scepticism.
Bertrand Russell
To fear love is to fear life.
Bertrand Russell
Televison allows thousands of people to laugh at the same joke and still remain alone.
Bertrand Russell
I did not know I loved you until I heard myself telling so, for one instance I thought, Good God, what have I said? and then I knew it was true.
Bertrand Russell
Thee will find out in time that I have a great love of professing vile sentiments, I don't know why, unless it springs from long efforts to avoid priggery.
Bertrand Russell
How about Pithecanthropus Erectus? Was it really he who ate the apple? Or was it Homo Pekiniensis?
Bertrand Russell
The saviors of the world, society's last hope.
Bertrand Russell
Do not feel certain of anything.
Bertrand Russell
no one ever gossips about the virtues of others
Bertrand Russell
When you want to teach children to think, you begin by treating them seriously when they are little, giving them responsibilities, talking to them candidly, providing privacy and solitude for them, and making them readers and thinkers of significant thoughts from the beginning. That’s if you want to teach them to think.
Bertrand Russell
Common sense, however it tries, cannot avoid being surprised from time to time.
Bertrand Russell
Only in thought is man a God in action and desire we are the slaves of circumstance.
Bertrand Russell
Artists are on the average less happy than men of science.
Bertrand Russell
Man is a credulous animal, and must believe something in the absence of good grounds for belief, he will be satisfied with bad ones.
Bertrand Russell
Either man will abolish war, or war will abolish man.
Bertrand Russell
All definite knowledge - so I should contend - belongs to science all dogma as to what surpasses definite knowledge belongs to theology. But between theology and science there is a No Man's Land, exposed to attack by both sides this No Man's Land is philosophy.
Bertrand Russell
A hallucination is a fact, not an error what is erroneous is a judgment based upon it.
Bertrand Russell
