“An idealist is one who,
on noticing that
a rose smells better than a cabbage,
concludes that it makes a better soup.”
~ Bertrand Russell
“A stupid man’s report
of what a clever man says
can never be accurate,
because he unconsciously
translates what he hears
into something he can understand.”
Thought for the Day
“It is preoccupation with possession,
more than anything else,
that prevents men from living
freely and nobly.”
~ Bertrand Russell
(1872-1970)
Thought for the Day
“The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life.
I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy;
I mean that if you are happy you will be good.”
“Common sense, however it tries,
cannot avoid being surprised from time to time.”
Thought of the Day
“One should respect public opinion
in so far as it is necessary
to avoid starvation and keep out of prison,
but anything that goes beyond this
is voluntary submission
to an unnecessary tyranny.”
Opinion : belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge.
