 |
|
Ok so I thought it might be kinda fun to have a quote of the day.
Aug. 20 - Aug. 30 The ten days of Bertrand Russell.
Aug. 20
"The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution”[color=brown]
Aug. 21
"Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric."
Aug. 22
"Everything is vague to a degree you do not realize till you have tried to make it precise."
Aug. 23
"I think we ought always to entertain our opinions with some measure of doubt. I shouldn’t wish people dogmatically to believe any philosophy, not even mine."
Aug. 24
"I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong."
Aug. 25
"In all affairs it’s a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted."
Aug. 26
"In the part of this universe that we know there is great injustice, and often the good suffer, and often the wicked prosper, and one hardly knows which of those is the more annoying."
Aug. 27
It has been said that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which could support this.
Aug. 28
Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so.

Ayn Bond quotes
Aug. 29
"A building has integrity just like a man. And just as seldom."
Aug. 30
"You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality."
Aug. 31
"A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others. "
Sept. 1
"A desire presupposes the possibility of action to achieve it; action presupposes a goal which is worth achieving. "
Sept. 2
"A government is the most dangerous threat to man's rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims. "
Sept. 3
"Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values. "
Sept. 4
"Achieving life is not the equivalent of avoiding death. "
Sept. 5
"Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves - or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth. "
Sept. 6
"Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men. "
Sept. 7
"Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong. "
Sept. 8
"Do not ever say that the desire to "do good" by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives. "
Sept. 9
"Every aspect of Western culture needs a new code of ethics - a rational ethics - as a precondition of rebirth. "
Sept. 10
"Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice. "
Sept. 11
"Evil requires the sanction of the victim. "
Sept. 13
"Force and mind are opposites; morality ends where a gun begins"
Sept. 14
"From the smallest necessity to the highest religious abstraction, from the wheel to the skyscraper, everything we are and everything we have comes from one attribute of man - the function of his reasoning mind. "
Sept. 15
"God... a being whose only definition is that he is beyond man's power to conceive. "
sept. 16
Government "help" to business is just as disastrous as government persecution... the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off. "'
Sept. 17
"Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values."
Sept. 18
"I don't build in order to have clients. I have clients in order to build. "
Sept. 19
"I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. "
Sept. 20
"If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject. "
Sept. 21
"Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual). "
Sept 22
"Individual rights are the means of subordinating society to moral law. "
Sept. 23
"It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master. "
