Bertrand Russell
“One should as a rule respect public opinion in so far as is necessary to avoid starvation and to keep out of
prison, but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny, and is likely to interfere with happiness in all kinds of ways.”
Bertrand Russell, The Conquest of Happiness

Leonardo da Vinci
“as a well-spent day gives, joy in sleep
so a well-spent life brings, joy in dying”
Leonardo da Vinci, Thoughts on Art and Life

“Self-discipline is often disguised as short-term pain, which often leads to long-term gains. The mistake many of us make is the need and want for short-term gains (immediate gratification), which often leads to long-term pain.”
Charles F. Glassman, Brain Drain - The Breakthrough That Will Change Your Life

George Orwell
“The distinguishing mark of man is the hand, the instrument with which he does all his mischief.”
George Orwell, Animal Farm

Bertrand Russell
“To all the talented young men who wander about feeling that there is nothing in the world for them to do, I should say: 'Give up trying to write, and, instead, try not to write. Go out into the world; become a pirate, a king in Borneo, a labourer in Soviet Russia; give yourself an existence in which the satisfaction of elementary physical needs will occupy almost all your energies.' I do not recommend this course of action to everyone, but only to those who suffer from the disease which Mr Krutch diagnoses. I believe that, after some years of such an existence, the ex-intellectual will fin that in spite of is efforts he can no longer refrain from writing, and when this time comes his writing will not seem to him futile.”
Bertrand Russell, The Conquest of Happiness
