Top 5 quotes from Bertrand Russell
"War does not determine who is right - only who is left."
"A life without adventure is likely to be unsatisfying, but a life in which adventure is allowed to take whatever form it will is sure to be short."
"The degree of one's emotions varies inversely with one's knowledge of the facts: the less you know the hotter you get."
"We are faced with the paradoxical fact that education has become one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought."
"Love is, above all, the gift of oneself."
Top 5 quotes from Freedom, Government
"When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right."
"The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry."
"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
"Little else is requisite to carry a state to the highest degree of opulence from the lowest barbarism but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice: all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things."
"Egalitarians create the most dangerous inequality of all -- inequality of power. Allowing politicians to determine what all other human beings will be allowed to earn is one of the most reckless gambles imaginable. Like the income tax, it may start off being applied only to the rich but it will inevitably reach us all."
