More quotes by Bertrand Russell

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

Bertrand Russell
All serious innovation is only rendered possible by some accident enabling unpopular persons to survive.
Bertrand Russell
Facts have to be discovered by observation, not by reasoning
Bertrand Russell
If any philosopher had been asked for a definition of infinity, he might have produced some unintelligible rigmarole, but he would certainly not have been able to give a definition that had any meaning at all.
Bertrand Russell
Mathematics takes us into the region of absolute necessity, to which not only the actual word, but every possible word, must conform.
Bertrand Russell
It has been said that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which could support this.
Bertrand Russell
No opinion has ever been too errant to become a creed.
Bertrand Russell
