More From Bertrand Russell

There is nothing so bad or so good that you will not find englishmen doing it; but you will never find an englishman in the wrong. he does everything on principle. he fights you on patriotic principles; he robs you on business principles; he enslaves you on imperial principles; he bullies you on manly principles; he supports his king on loyal principles and cuts off his king's head on republican principles.

Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.

Srinivasa ramanujan was the strangest man in all of mathematics, probably in the entire history of science. he has been compared to a bursting supernova, illuminating the darkest, most profound corners of mathematics, before being tragically struck down by tuberculosis at the age of 33, like riemann before him. working in total isolation from the main currents of his field, he was able to rederive 100 years' worth of western mathematics on his own. the tragedy of his life is that much of his work was wasted rediscovering known mathematics.

...it would be possible to make much more progress than has been made if the nci knew its job better, knew how to make discoveries...the nci really does not know how to make discoveries....so long as the nci is not willing to follow up ideas that seem good to people who have had experience making discoveries, the work of the nci is going to be pedestrian.

Ah, i fancy it is just the same with most of what you call your emancipation. you have read yourself into a number of new ideas and opinions. you have got a sort of smattering of recent discoveries in various fields - discoveries that seem to overthrow certain principles which have hitherto been held impregnable and unassailable. but all this has only been a matter of intellect, miss west - superficial acquisition. it has not passed into your blood.

What will solve our problems is a specific set of ideas built on bedrock principles that made america the greatest nation to begin with and applying those principles to the unique challenges of this new century. and those principles are not complicated. it begins with a notion that this nation was founded on a powerful spiritual principle, that our rights do not come from government. our rights do not come from our laws. our rights do not come from our leaders. our rights come from god.

Similar Quotes
I want first of all - in fact, as an end to these other desires - to be at peace with myself. i want a singleness of eye, a purity of intention, a central core to my life that will enable me to carry out these obligations and activities as well as i can. i want, in fact - to borrow from the language of the saints - to live 'in grace' as much of the time as possible. i am not using this term in a strictly theological sense. by grace i mean an inner harmony, essentially spiritual, which can be translated into outward harmony.

... in a history of spiritual rupture, a social compact built on fantasy and collective secrets, poetry becomes more necessary than ever: it keeps the underground aquifers flowing; it is the liquid voice that can wear through stone.

It will never be possible by pure reason to arrive at some absolute truth.
