To realize the unimportance of time is the gate to wisdom.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

The habit of looking to the fu...

The habit of looking to the future and thinking that the whole meaning of the present lies in what it will bring forth is a pernicious one. There can be no value in the whole unless there is value in the parts.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

All the time that he can spare...

All the time that he can spare from the adornment of his person, he devotes to the neglect of his duties.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

What is new in our time is the...

What is new in our time is the increased power of the authorities to enforce their prejudices.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

The average man's opinions are...

The average man's opinions are much less foolish than they would be if he thought for himself.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

Mathematics, rightly viewed, p...

Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the georgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show. The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense of being more than Man, which is the touchstone of the highest excellence, is to be found in mathematics as surely as in poetry.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

Brief and powerless is man's l...

Brief and powerless is man's life; on him and all his race the slow, sure doom falls pitiless and dark.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

For love of domination we must...

For love of domination we must substitute equality; for love of victory we must substitute justice; for brutality we must substitute intelligence; for competition we must substitute cooperation. We must learn to think of the human race as one family.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

A democrat need not believe that the majority will always reach a wise decision. He should however believe in the necessity of accepting the decision of the majority, be it wise or unwise, until such a time that the majority reaches another decision.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

Public opinion is always more ...

Public opinion is always more tyrannical towards those who obviously fear it than towards those who feel indifferent to it.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

The satisfaction to be derived...

The satisfaction to be derived from success in a great constructive enterprise is one of the most massive that life has to offer.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

Any pleasure that does no harm...

Any pleasure that does no harm to other people is to be valued.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

Fundamental happiness depends ...

Fundamental happiness depends more than anything else upon what may be called a friendly interest in persons and things.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

A world full of happiness is n...

A world full of happiness is not beyond human power to create; the obstacles imposed by inanimate nature are not insuperable. The real obstacles lie in the heart of man, and the cure for these is a firm hope, informed and fortified by thought.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

It appeared to me obvious that...

It appeared to me obvious that the happiness of mankind should be the aim of all action, and I discovered to my surprise that there were those who thought otherwise.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

To be happy in this world, esp...

To be happy in this world, especially when youth is past, it is necessary to feel oneself not merely an isolated individual whose day will soon be over, but part of the stream of life slowing on from the first germ to the remote and unknown future.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

A man without a bias cannot wr...

A man without a bias cannot write interesting history - if indeed such a man exists.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

Life and hope for the world are to be found only in the deeds of love.

Bertrand Russell 1415 quotes

It is because modern education...

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 1415 quotes

There are certain things that ...

There are certain things that our age needs. It needs, above all, courageous hope and the impulse to creativeness.
