Here are some of the best and most thought-provoking quotes by the philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell:
1. “The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.”
2. “To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.”
3. “The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.”
4. “Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.”
5. “War does not determine who is right — only who is left.”
6. “The secret of happiness is this: let your interests be as wide as possible, and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile.”
7. “Science is what you know, philosophy is what you don’t know.”
9. “Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.”
10. “The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.”
11. “Men are born ignorant, not stupid; they are made stupid by education.”
12. “The secret to happiness is to face the fact that the world is horrible.”
13. “No one gossips about other people’s secret virtues.”
14. “The only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation.”
15. “To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.”
16. “Religion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence, it will fade away as we adopt reason and science as our guidelines.”
17. “One is often told that it is a very wrong thing to attack religion, because religion makes men virtuous. So I am told; I have not noticed it.”
