Bertrand Russell
“No institution inspired by fear can further life.”
Bertrand Russell, Why Men Fight

Bertrand Russell
“The whole of the controlling purpose is concentrated in the capitalist; the purpose of the wage-earner is not the produce, but the wages, The purpose of the capitalist is to secure the maximum of work for the minimum of wages; the purpose of the wage-earner is to secure the maximum of wages for the minimum of work. A system involving this essential conflict of interests cannot be expected to work smoothly or successtully, or to produce a community with any pride in efficiency.”
Bertrand Russell, Why Men Fight

Bertrand Russell
“In internal as in external affairs, the worst enemy of freedom is war.”
Bertrand Russell, Why Men Fight

Bertrand Russell
“Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible; thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habits; thought is anarchic and lawless, indifferent to authority, careless of the well-tried wisdom of the ages. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. It sees man, a feeble speck, surrounded by unfathomable depths of silence; yet it bears itself proudly, as unmoved as if it were lord of the universe. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.”
Bertrand Russell , Why Men Fight

Bertrand Russell
“Now, as in the past, religion, lagging behind private consciences through the weight of tradition, steels the hearts of men against mercy and their minds against truth. If the world is to be saved, men must learn to be noble without being cruel, to be filled with faith and yet open to truth, to be inspired by great purposes without hating those who try to thwart them. But before this can happen, men must first face the terrible realization that the gods before whom they have bowed down were false gods and the sacrifices they have made were vain.”
Bertrand Russell, Why Men Fight
