More quotes by Bertrand Russell
Through the greatness of the universe, which philosophy contemplates, the mind also is rendered great, and becomes capable of that union with the universe which constitutes its highest good.
Bertrand Russell
no one ever gossips about the virtues of others
Bertrand Russell
Life is just one cup of coffee after another, and don't look for anything else.
Bertrand Russell
It's not what you have lost, but what you have left that counts.
Bertrand Russell
Ethical metaphysics is fundamentally an attempt, however disguised, to give legislative force to our own wishes.
Bertrand Russell
The law of causality, I believe, like much that passes muster among philosophers, is a relic of a bygone age, surviving, like the monarchy, only because it is erroneously supposed to do no harm.
Bertrand Russell
Look at me. Look at me is one of the fundamental desires of human heart.
Bertrand Russell
The difficulty is old, but none the less real. An omnipotent being who created a world containing evil not due to sin must Himself be at least partially evil.
Bertrand Russell
We must be sceptical even of our scepticism.
Bertrand Russell
Philosophy, though unable to tell us with certainty what is the true answer to the doubts which it raises, is able to suggest many possibilities which enlarge our thoughts and free them from the tyranny of custom.
Bertrand Russell
Half the useful work in the world consists of combating the harmful work.
Bertrand Russell
The pure mathematician, like the musician, is a free creator of his world of ordered beauty.
Bertrand Russell
In considering irregular appearances, there are certain very natural mistakes which must be avoided.
Bertrand Russell
Philosophy bakes no bread
Bertrand Russell
Mankind is divided into two classes: those who, being artificial, praise nature, and those who, being natural, praise art.
Bertrand Russell
Abstract work, if one wishes to do it well, must be allowed to destroy one's humanity one raises a monument which is at the same time a tomb, in which, voluntarily, one slowly inters oneself.
Bertrand Russell
No rules, however wise, are a substitute for affection and tact.
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
Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men, by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted.
Bertrand Russell
It is a natural propensity to attribute misfortune to someone's malignity.
Bertrand Russell
