**********************
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
To be happy in this world, especially when youth is past, it is necessary to
feel oneself not
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.
********************
+ The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express.
Francis Bacon
+ The worst solitude is to have no real friendships.
Francis Bacon
+ Time is the measure of business.
Francis Bacon
+ Without friends the world is but a wilderness. There is no man that imparted
his joys to
his friends, but he joyeth the more; and no man that imparted his grieves to his
friend,
but he grieveth the less.
Francis Bacon
+ I would live to study, and not study to live.
Francis Bacon
+ There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that
which is
lost by not trying.
Francis Bacon
+ Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.
Francis Bacon
+ Cure the disease and kill the patient.
Francis Bacon
+ In every great time there is some one idea at work which is more powerful than
any
other, and which shapes the events of the time and determines their ultimate
issues.
Francis Bacon
+ Acorns were good until bread was found.
Francis Bacon
