Envy ... is one form of a vice, partly moral, partly intellectual, which consists in seeing things never in themselves but only in their relations.

I did not, however, commit suicide, because I wished to know more of mathematics.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

Emphatic and reiterated assertion, especially during childhood, produces in most people a belief so firm as to have a hold even over the unconscious.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

It is obviously possible that what we call waking life may only be an unusual and persistent nightmare.

Punctuality is a quality the need of which is bound up with social co-operation.

You may, if you are an old-fashioned schoolmaster, wish to consider yourself full of universal benevolence and at the same time derive great pleasure from caning boys. In order to reconcile these two desires you have to persuade yourself that caning

A proverb is one man's wit and all men's wisdom.

All great books contain boring portions, and all great lives have contained uninteresting stretches.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

One of the most painful circumstances of recent advances in science is that each one makes us know less than we thought we did

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

Every housemaid expects at least once a week as much excitement as would have lasted a Jane Austen heroine throughout a whole novel.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

If a philosophy is to bring happiness it should be inspired by kindly feelings. Marx pretended that he wanted the happiness of the proletariat; what he really wanted was the unhappiness of the bourgeois.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

Adventurous men enjoy shipwrecks, mutinies, earthquakes, conflagrations, and all kinds of unpleasant experiences. They say to themselves, for example, 'So this is what an earthquake is like,' and it gives them pleasure to have their knowledge of the world increased by this new item.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

Modern life cannot be constructed on . . . physically strenuous principles. A great deal of work is sedentary, and most manual work exercises only a few specialized muscles.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

In view of the fact that in a...

In view of the fact that in any future world war nuclear weapons will certainly be employed, and that such weapons threaten the continued existence of mankind, we urge the governments of the world to realize, and to acknowledge publicly, that their purpose cannot be furthered by a world war, and we urge them, consequently, to find peaceful means for the settlement of all matters of dispute between them.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

Philosophy seems to me on the whole a rather hopeless business.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

Physics, owing to the simplic...

Physics, owing to the simplicity of its subject matter, has reached a higher state of development than any other science.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

In the first place a philosop...

In the first place a philosophical proposition must be general. It must not deal specially with things on the surface of the earth, or within the solar system, or with any other portion of space and time. . . . This brings us to a second characteristic of philosophical propositions, namely that they must be a priori. A philosophical proposition must be such as can neither be proved nor disproved by empirical evidence. . . . Philosophy, if what has been said is correct, becomes indistinguishable from logic as that word has now come to be used.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

Inferences of Science and Com...

Inferences of Science and Common Sense differ from those of deductive logic and mathematics in a very important respect, namely, when the premises are true and the reasoning correct, the conclusion is only probable.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

No other organization rouses ...

No other organization rouses anything like the loyalty aroused by the national State. And the chief activity of the State is preparation for large-scale homicide.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

Science tells us what we can know, but what we can know is little, and if we forget how much we cannot know we become insensitive to many things of great importance.
