Indemnity for the past and security for the future.
Bertrand Russell
Image
I was told that The Chinese said they would bury me by the Western Lake and build a shrine to my memory. I have some slight regret that this did not happen, as I might have become a god, which would have been very chic for an atheist.

War doesn't determine who's right, it determines who's left
Bertrand Russell

One of the most painful circumstances of recent advances in science is that each one makes us know less than we thought we did
Bertrand Russell

There is no need to worry about mere size. We do not necessarily respect a fat man more than a thin man. Sir Isaac Newton was very much smaller than a hippopotamus, but we do not on that account value him less.
Bertrand Russell

My own view on religion is that of Lucretius. I regard it as a disease born of fear and as a source of untold misery to the human race.
Bertrand Russell
Image
I have throughout been curious about how much we can be said to know and with what degree of certainty or doubtfulness.
Bertrand Russell
Image
The experience of overcoming fear is extraordinarily delightful.
Bertrand Russell
Image
My whole religion is this: do every duty, and expect no reward for it, either here or hereafter.
Bertrand Russell
Image
The search for something permanent is one of the deepest of the instincts leading men to philosophy.
Bertrand Russell
Image
I do not believe that science per se is an adequate source of happiness, nor do I think that my own scientific outlook has contributed very greatly to my own happiness, which I attribute to defecating twice a day with unfailing regularity.
Bertrand Russell
Image
In all the creative work that I have done, what has come first is a problem, a puzzle involving discomfort.
Bertrand Russell
Image
To realize the unimportance of time is the gate to wisdom.
Bertrand Russell
Image
Science, by itself cannot, supply us with an ethic.
Bertrand Russell
Image
The twin conceptions of sin and vindictive punishment seem to be at the root of much that is most vigorous, both in religion and politics.
Bertrand Russell
Image
The Stoic assures us that what is happening now will happen over and over again. [If so, Providende would] ultimately grow weary through despair.
Bertrand Russell
Image
Education, which was at first made universal in order that all might be able to read and write, has been found capable of serving quite other purposes. By instilling nonsense it unifies populations and generates collective enthusiasm.
Bertrand Russell
Image
The man who is unhappy will, as a rule, adopt an unhappy creed, while the man who is happy will adopt a happy creed each may attribute his happiness or unhappiness to his beliefs, while the real causation is the other way round.
Bertrand Russell
