No one gossips about
other people’s secret virtues.
-Bertrand Russell
If a man is offered a
fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and
unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the
other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in
accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence.
The origin of myths is explained in this way.
-Bertrand Russell
The greatest challenge to
any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution.
-Bertrand Russell
I don’t know the key to
success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.
-Bill Cosby
If at first you don’t
succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.
-Bill Lyon
Thought is useful when it
motivates for action, and a hindrance when it substitutes for action.
-Bill Raeder
An optimist stays up to
see the New Year in. A pessimist waits to make sure the old one leaves.
-Bill Vaughan
