Bertrand Russell

(1872–1970) · English Philosopher

The happiness that is genuinely satisfying is accompanied by the fullest exercise of our faculties and the fullest realization of the world in which we live.
Religion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence, it will fade away as we adopt reason and science as our guidelines.
I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its Churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.
It is possible that mankind is on the threshold of a golden age; but, if so, it will be necessary first to slay the dragon that guards the door, and this dragon is religion.
The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.
Those who have never known the deep intimacy and the intense companionship of mutual love have missed the best thing that life has to give.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
Both in thought and in feeling, even though time be real, to realise the unimportance of time is the gate of wisdom.
