There seems scarcely any limit to what could be done in the way of producing a good world, if only men would use science wisely.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

When one admits that nothing ...

When one admits that nothing is certain one must, I think, also admit that some things are much more nearly certain than others.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

I say people who feel they mu...

I say people who feel they must have a faith or religion in order to face life are showing a kind of cowardice, which in any other sphere would be considered contemptible. But when it is in the religious sphere it is thought admirable, and I cannot admire cowardice whatever sphere it is in.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

I am looking forward very much to getting back to Cambridge, and being able to say what I think and not to mean what I say: two things which at home are impossible. Cambridge is one of the few places where one can talk unlimited nonsense and generalities without anyone pulling one up or confronting one with them when one says just the opposite the next day.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

The true spirit of delight......

The true spirit of delight...is to be found in mathematics as surely as in poetry.

When all experts agree, you need to watch out.

Artists are on the average less happy than men of science.

BERTRAND RUSSELL, The Philoso...

BERTRAND RUSSELL, The Philosophy of Logical Atomism We've associated that word philosophy with academic study that in its own way has gotten so far beyond the layman that if you read contemporary philosophy you've no clue, because it's almost become math. And it's odd that if you don't do that and you call yourself a philosopher that you always get 'homespun' attached to it.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

It was the duty of wives to submit to husbands, not of husbands to submit to wives. . . men have stronger muscles than women.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

[Freedom] is the greatest of ...

[Freedom] is the greatest of political goods. I do not say freedom is the greatest of all goods: the best things come from within they are such things as creative art, and love, and thought. Such things can be helped or hindered by political conditions, but not actually produced by them; and freedom is, both in itself and in its relation to these other goods the best thing that political and economic conditions can secure.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

Is there any knowledge in the world which is so certain that no reasonable man could doubt it?

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

To choose one sock from each ...

To choose one sock from each of infinitely many pairs of socks requires the Axiom of Choice, but for shoes the Axiom is not needed.

Animal rights, taken to their logical conclusion, mean votes for oysters.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

One is always a little afraid of love, but above all, one is afraid of pain or causing pain.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

It would have been very much ...

It would have been very much better for the world if Britain had remained neutral and the Germans had won a quick victory. We should not have had either the Nazis or the Communists if that had happened.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

The people who are regarded as moral luminaries are those who forego ordinary pleasures themselves and find compensation in interfering with the pleasures of others.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

To be able to fill leisure in...

To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization, and at present very few people have reached this level.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

What is best in mathematics d...

What is best in mathematics deserves not merely to be learnt as a task, but to assimilated as a part of daily thought, and brought again and again before the mind with ever-renewed encouragement.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

What vanity needs for its sat...

What vanity needs for its satisfaction is glory, and it's easy to have glory without power.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

The whole realm of thought an...

The whole realm of thought and opinion is utterly unsuited to public control; it ought to be as free, and as spontaneous as is possible. The state is justified in insisting that children shall be educated, but it is not justified in forcing their education to proceed on a uniform plan and to be directed to the production of a dead level of glib uniformity.
