More quotes by Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
In a just world, there would be no possibility of 'charity'.
Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
To realize the unimportance of time is the gate to wisdom.
Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
One of the main causes of trouble in the world is dogmatic and fanatical belief in some doctrine for which there is no adequate evidence
Bertrand Russell
Can a society in which thought and technique are scientific persist for a long period, as, for example, ancient Egypt persisted, or does it necessarily contain within itself forces which must bring either decay or explosion?
Bertrand Russell
Those who in principle oppose birth control are either incapable of arithmetic or else in favour of war, pestilence and famine as permanent features of human life.
Bertrand Russell
The world is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.
Bertrand Russell
The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd.
Bertrand Russell
The free intellect is the chief engine of human progress.
Bertrand Russell
Punctuality is a quality the need of which is bound up with social co-operation.
Bertrand Russell
For my part I distrust all generalizations about women, favorable and unfavorable, masculine and feminine, ancient and modern all alike, I should say, result from paucity of experience.
Bertrand Russell
In considering irregular appearances, there are certain very natural mistakes which must be avoided.
Bertrand Russell
What men really want is not knowledge but certainty.
Bertrand Russell
Freedom comes only to those who no longer ask of life that it shall yield them any of those personal goods that are subject to the mutations of time.
Bertrand Russell
