More quotes by Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
Even when the experts all agree, they may well be mistaken.
Bertrand Russell
No one gossips about other people's secret virtues.
Bertrand Russell
A man is rational in proportion as his intelligence informs and controls his desires.
Bertrand Russell
Mankind is divided into two classes: those who, being artificial, praise nature, and those who, being natural, praise art.
Bertrand Russell
We do not like to be robbed of an enemy we want someone to hate when we suffer. It is so depressing to think that we suffer because we are fools yet, taking mankind in the mass, that is the truth.
Bertrand Russell
Life is just one cup of coffee after another, and don't look for anything else.
Bertrand Russell
Of course not. After all, I may be wrong.
Bertrand Russell
Mankind has become so much one family that we cannot insure our own prosperity except by insuring that of everyone else.

Bertrand Russell
All religions are both harmful and untrue.
Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
If you question any candid person who is no longer young, he is very likely to tell you that, having tasted life in this world, he has no wish to begin again as a new boy in another.
Bertrand Russell
The true spirit of delight...is to be found in mathematics as surely as in poetry.
Bertrand Russell
Literature is inexhaustible, with every book a homage to infinity
Bertrand Russell
So long as there is death there will be sorrow, and so long as there is sorrow it can be no part of the duty of human beings to increase its amount, in spite of the fact that a few rare spirits know how to transmute it.
Bertrand Russell
Philosophy bakes no bread
Bertrand Russell
Nothing is so exhausting as indecision, and nothing is so futile.
Bertrand Russell
A physicist looks for causes that does not necessarily imply that there are causes everywhere. A man may look for gold without assuming that there is gold everywhere if he finds gold, well and good, if he doesn't he's had bad luck. The same is true when the physicists look for causes.
Bertrand Russell
The key to happiness is accepting one unpleasant reality every day.
Bertrand Russell
