More quotes by Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
There is no greater reason for children to honour parents than for parents to honour children except, that while the children are young, the parents are stronger than children.
Bertrand Russell
The experience of overcoming fear is extraordinarily delightful.
Bertrand Russell
Perhaps the best hope for the future of mankind is that ways will be found of increasing the scope and intensity of sympathy.
Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
Americans need rest, but do not know it.
Bertrand Russell
Almost everything that distinguishes the modern world from earlier centuries is attributable to science, which achieved its most spectacular triumphs in the seventeenth century.
Bertrand Russell
Education ought to foster the wish for truth, not the conviction that some particular creed is the truth.
Bertrand Russell
Much that passes as idealism is disguised hatred or disguised love of power.
Bertrand Russell
When we look at a rock what we are seeing is not the rock, but the effect of the rock upon us.
Bertrand Russell
I used, when I was younger, to take my holidays walking. I would cover 25 miles a day, and when the evening came I had no need of anything to keep me from boredom, since the delight of sitting amply sufficed.
Bertrand Russell
