Additional quotes by Bertrand Russell

I do not myself feel that any person who is really profoundly humane can believe in everlasting punishment.

In the part of this universe that we know there is great injustice, and often the good suffer, and often the wicked prosper, and one hardly knows which of those is the more annoying.

I think we ought always to entertain our opinions with some measure of doubt. I shouldn't wish people dogmatically to believe any philosophy, not even mine.

No nation was ever so virtuous as each believes itself, and none was ever so wicked as each believes the other. - Bertrand Russell
