Quote by Bertrand Russell: The conquest of fear is the beginning of wisdom!

Bertrand Arthur William Russell was a British philosopher, mathematician, historian, writer, critic, political activist and Nobel Prize winner. At various points in his life he considered himself a liberal, a socialist and a pacifist, but also admitted that he had "never been any of these things". Below are some of his wisest, always thought-provoking quotes.

• Law originally was simply a codification of the power of the dominant groups and did not aim at anything that a modern man would see as justice!

• It's a waste of energy to get angry at a person who misbehaves, just like it is to get angry at a car that won't start!

• One of the problems with vanity is that it grows with what it feeds. The more you are talked about, the more you will want to be talked about!

• It is easy to fall in love. The hard part is finding someone to catch you!

• Fear is the main source of superstition and one of the main sources of atrocities. Conquering fear is the beginning of wisdom!

• Freedom in general can be defined as the absence of obstacles for the realization of desires!

• One of the symptoms of an impending nervous breakdown is the belief that your work is terribly important!

• We must care for a world we will never see!

• The biggest cause of problems in today's world is that stupid people are so sure about things and intelligent people are so full of doubts!

• Most people would die before they start thinking. In fact - it happens!

• No great achievement is possible without constant work!

• Many people will have the courage to die bravely, but they will not have the courage to say, or even think, that the cause they are being asked to die for is unworthy!

• The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I don't mean that if you are good, you will be happy; I mean if you're happy, you'll be good!

• Being without some of the things we love: this is a necessary part of happiness. /Bota.al/
