Bertrand Russell

The only thing that can give meaning to life is love.

The universe is a chaotic and unpredictable place, and we are at its mercy.

The only way to find happiness is to stop looking for it.

The universe is a vast and indifferent machine, and we are but cogs in its gears.

The only thing that can give us hope is the belief that we can make a difference.

The universe is a beautiful and terrible place, and we are both its creators and its victims.

The only way to truly live is to embrace death.

The universe is a mystery, and we are forever seeking to unravel its secrets.

The only thing that can give us peace is the acceptance of our own mortality.

The universe is a vast and endless ocean, and we are but tiny boats adrift upon its waves.

The only thing that can give us freedom is the courage to be ourselves.

The universe is a symphony, and we are but a single note within its grand composition.

The only thing that can give us wisdom is the humility to admit our ignorance.

Religion is based, I think, primarily upon fear. It is partly the terror of the unknown and partly, as I have said, the wish to feel that you have a kind of elder brother who will stand by you in all your troubles and disputes.

Men are born ignorant, not stupid; they are made stupid by education.

What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the wish to find out, which is the exact opposite.

The only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him.

I am myself a dissenter from all recognized religions.

I do not pretend to be able to prove that there is no God. I equally cannot prove that there are no Olympian gods, or fairies at the bottom of the garden.

The only thing that can save the world is the return of sanity and reason.
