More quotes by Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
Language serves not only to express thought but to make possible thoughts which could not exist without it.
Bertrand Russell
It is only theory that makes men completely incautious.
Bertrand Russell
It is not by delusion, however exalted, that mankind can prosper, but only by unswerving courage in the pursuit of truth.
Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell
(on A History of Western Philosophy) I was sometimes accused by reviewers of writing not a true history but a biased account of the events that I arbitrarily chose to write of. But to my mind, a man without a bias cannot write interesting history - if, indeed, such man exists.
Bertrand Russell
When we look at a rock what we are seeing is not the rock, but the effect of the rock upon us.
Bertrand Russell
It is because modern education is so seldom inspired by a great hope that it so seldom achieves great results. The wish to preserve the past rather that the hope of creatingfuture dominates the minds of those who control the teaching of the young.
Bertrand Russell
It is likely that America will be more important during the next century or two, but after that it may well be the turn of China.
