“Message to the Future (1959) - Bertrand Russel

“I should like to say two things, one intellectual and one moral. The intellectual thing I should want to say is this: When you are studying any matter, or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted either by what you wish to believe, or by what you think would have beneficent social effects if it were believed. But look only, and solely, at what are the facts. That is the intellectual thing that I should wish to say.

The moral thing I should wish to say… I should say love is wise, hatred is foolish. In this world which is getting more closely and closely interconnected we have to learn to tolerate each other, we have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we don’t like. We can only live together in that way and if we are to live together and not die together we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet.”

“The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.”
― Bertrand Russell

“We can be skeptical -- demanding evidence before we believe in people -- but hopeful knowing they can change for the better”
― Jamil Zaki

“Running fast is useless if it is in the wrong direction. Even worse is to run fast into a bottomless pit. It is better to walk sometimes, and even better, to be conscious and still, and do nothing sometimes. To be conscious one has to be unconscious "asleep" a lot." - Solomon Vimal (geothara.com)”
