Bertrand Russell
Government can easily exist without laws, but law cannot exist without government.
Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
A world without delight and without affection is a world destitute of value.
Bertrand Russell
