Additional quotes by Bertrand Russell

How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty?

We love our habits more than our income, often more than our life.

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.

Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom. - Bertrand Russell
