So many Russell quotes here. I have him quoted in my sigfile. Here's one of my favourite quotes, not by Russell but by his colleague G. E. Moore.
"Here is one hand. Here is another." "To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is and of what is not that it is not is true." -- Aristotle.

"In general, the art of government consists in taking as much money as possible from one class of citizens to give to the other." [Voltaire]
The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it. [H.L. Mencken] The only good bureaucrat is one with a pistol at his head. Put it in his hand and it's good-by to the Bill of Rights. [H.L. Mencken] "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." [H. L. Mencken] This is one of my favorites. From Alexander Tyler. No, he wasn't writing about the United States. This quote is well over one hundred years old. Tyler was writing about the fall of the Athenian Republic. "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage." "Comrades! We must abolish the cult of the individual decisively, once and for all." [Nikita Khrushchev , February 25, 1956 20th Congress of the Communist Party] "All our lives we fought against exalting the individual, against the elevation of the single person, and long ago we were over and done with the business of a hero, and here it comes up again: the glorification of one personality. This is not good at all." [Vladimir Lenin, as quoted in Not by Politics Alone] "We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society." [Hillary Clinton, 1993] "We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans ..." [President Bill Clinton, 'USA Today' March 11, 1993: Page 2A] "Do we really think that a government-dominated education is going to produce citizens capable of dominating their government, as the education of a truly vigilant self-governing people requires?" [Alan Keyes] and my all-time favorite. Live by it. "Try not. DO, or do not. There is no try." [Yoda] Mike

"Why ponder life's complexities when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat?"
