Bertrand Russell
An individual human existence should be like a river
Bertrand Russell
It is not by delusion, however exalted, that mankind can prosper, but only by unswerving courage in the pursuit of truth.
Bertrand Russell
To think I have spent my life on absolute muck.
Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
Extreme hopes are born of extreme misery, and in such a world hopes could only be irrational.
Bertrand Russell
Never try to discourage thinking, for you are sure to succeed.
Bertrand Russell
Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
In science the successors stand upon the shoulders of their predecessors where one man of supreme genius has invented a method, a thousand lesser men can apply it. ...

Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
It must not be supposed that the subjective elements are any less 'real' than the objective elements they are only less important... because they do not point to anything beyond ourselves.
Bertrand Russell
Heretical views arise when the truth is uncertain, and it is only when the truth is uncertain that censorship is invoked.
Bertrand Russell
Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination.
Bertrand Russell
Beware the man of the single book
Bertrand Russell
Punctuality is a quality the need of which is bound up with social co-operation.
Bertrand Russell
Bad philosophers may have a certain influence good philosophers, never.
Bertrand Russell
