**********************

We are all prone to the malady of the introvert who, with the manifold spectacle of the
world spread out before him, turns away and gazes only upon the emptiness within. But let
us not imagine there is anything grand about the introvert's unhappiness.
Bertrand Russell
To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
Bertrand Russell
Our instinctive emotions are those that we have inherited from a much more dangerous
world, and contain, therefore, a larger portion of fear than they should.
Bertrand Russell
There is no nonsense so arrant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by
adequate government action.
Bertrand Russell
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.
Bertrand Russell
The most valuable things in life are not measured in monetary terms. The really important
things are not houses and lands, stocks and bonds, automobiles and real state, but
friendships, trust, confidence, empathy, mercy, love and faith.
Bertrand Russell

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
It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents men from
living freely and nobly.
Bertrand Russell
Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.
Bertrand Russell
This idea of weapons of mass exterminations utterly horrible and is something which no
one with one spark of humanity can tolerate. I will not pretend to obey a government
which is organizing a mass massacre of mankind.

you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
