More quotes by Bertrand Russell
Remember your humanity, and forget the rest.
Bertrand Russell
No one gossips about other people's secret virtues.
Bertrand Russell
The Church no longer contends that knowledge is in itself sinful, though it did so in its palmy days but the acquisition of knowledge, even though not sinful, is dangerous, since it may lead to pride of intellect, and hence to a questioning of the Christian dogma.
Bertrand Russell
In attempting to understand the elements out of which mental phenomena are compounded, it is of the greatest importance to remember that from the protozoa to man there is nowhere a very wide gap either in structure or in behaviour. From this fact it is a highly probable inference that there is also nowhere a very wide mental gap.
Bertrand Russell
Common sense, however it tries, cannot avoid being surprised from time to time.
Bertrand Russell
One's work is never so bad as it appears on bad days, nor so good as it appears on good days.
Bertrand Russell
The saviors of the world, society's last hope.
Bertrand Russell
All religions are both harmful and untrue.
Bertrand Russell
Many a man will have the courage to die gallantly, but will not have the courage to say, or even to think, that the cause for which he is asked to die is an unworthy one.
Bertrand Russell
Ants and savages put strangers to death.
Bertrand Russell
An Honest politician will not be tolerated by a democracy unless he is very stupid ... because only a very stupid man can honestly share the prejudices of more than half the nation.
Bertrand Russell
As soon as we abandon our own reason, and are content to rely upon authority, there is no end to our troubles.
Bertrand Russell
If you wish to be happy yourself, you must resign yourself to seeing others also happy.
Bertrand Russell
Broadly speaking, we are in the middle of a race between human skill as a means and human folly as an end.
Bertrand Russell
It is in the nature of imperialism that citizens of the imperial power are always among the last to know-or care-about circumstances in the colonies.
Bertrand Russell
The axiomatic method has many advantages over honest work.
Bertrand Russell
I suggest to young professors that their first work should be written in a jargon only to be understood by the erudite few. With that behind them, they can ever after say what they have to say in a language 'understand of the people.'
Bertrand Russell
Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relative to other matter second, telling other people to do so.
Bertrand Russell
Neither acquiescence in skepticism nor acquiescence in dogma is what education should produce.
Bertrand Russell
Collective wisdom, alas, is no adequate substitute for the intelligence of individuals. Individuals who opposed received opinions have been the source of all progress, both moral and intellectual. They have been unpopular, as was natural.
Bertrand Russell
