I tried to find Him on the Christian cross, but He was not there I went to the Temple of the Hindus and to the old pagodas, but I could not find a trace of Him anywhere. I searched on the mountains and in the valleys but neither in the heights nor in the depths was I able to find Him. I went to the Caaba in Mecca, but He was not there either. I questioned the scholars and philosophers but He was beyond their understanding. I then looked into my heart and it was there where He dwelled that I saw Him He was nowhere else to be found. — Jalal ud-Din Rumi
Come out of the circle of time And into the circle of love. — Jalal ud-Din Rumi

Best Donald H. Rumsfeld Quotes: The most famous quotes by Donald H. Rumsfeld
If you are not criticized, you may not be doing much. — Donald H. Rumsfeld
Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – – the ones we don’t know we don’t know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones. — Donald H. Rumsfeld

Best Steven Runciman Quotes: The most famous quotes by Steven Runciman
Faced by the mountainous heap of the minutiae of knowledge and awed by the watchful severity of his colleagues, the modern historian too often takes refuge in learned articles or narrowly specialized dissertations, small fortresses that are easy to defend from attack. — Steven Runciman
I believe that the supreme duty of the historian is to write history, that is to say, to attempt to record in one sweeping sequence the greater events and movements that have swayed the destiny of man. — Steven Runciman
Best Augusta E. Rundell Quotes: The most famous quotes by Augusta E. Rundell
Christmas–that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance–a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved. — Augusta E. Rundell

War does not determine who is right – only who is left. — Bertrand Russell
The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense of being more than Man, which is the touchstone of the highest excellence, is to be found in mathematics as surely as poetry. — Bertrand Russell

Fear is, I believe, a most effective tool in destroying the soul of an individual–and the soul of a people. — Bertrand Russell
One of the chief obstacles to intelligence is credulity, and credulity could be enormously diminished by instructions as to the prevalent forms of mendacity. Credulity is a greater evil in the present day than it ever was before, because, owing to the growth of education, it is much easier than it used to be to spread misinformation, and, owing to democracy, the spread of misinformation is more important than in former times to the holders of power. — Bertrand Russell
The most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way. — Bertrand Russell
Mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true. — Bertrand Russell

A process which led from the amoeba to man appeared to philosophers to be obviously progress — though whether the amoeba would agree with this opinion is not known. — Bertrand Russell
Nothing of importance is ever achieved without discipline.

Drunkenness is temporary suicide. — Bertrand Russell
It may seem to your conceited to suppose that you can do anything important toward improving the lot of mankind. But this is a fallacy. You must believe that you can help bring about a better world. A good society is produced only by good individuals, just as truly as a majority in a presidential election is produced by the votes of single electors. Everybody can do something toward creating in his own environment kindly feelings rather than anger, reasonableness rather than hysteria, happiness rather than misery. — Bertrand Russell
‘Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. — Bertrand Russell

It is clear that thought is not free if the profession of certain opinions makes it impossible to earn a living. — Bertrand Russell
To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness. — Bertrand Russell
It is because modern education is so seldom inspired by a great hope that it so seldom achieves great results. The wish to preserve the past rather than the hope of creating the future dominates the minds of those who control the teaching of the young. — Bertrand Russell
I found one day in school a boy of medium size ill-treating a smaller boy. I expostulated, but he replied ‘The bigs hit me, so I hit the babies that’s fair.’ In these words he epitomized the history of the human race. — Bertrand Russell
The fundamental defect of fathers is that they want their children to be a credit to them. — Bertrand Russell
Our instinctive emotions are those that we have inherited from a much more dangerous world, and contain, therefore, a larger portion of fear than they should. — Bertrand Russell
The mind is a strange machine which can combine the materials offered to it in the most astonishing ways. — Bertrand Russell

Every man, wherever he goes, is encompassed by a cloud of comforting convictions, which move with him like flies on a summer day. — 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. — Bertrand Russell
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. — Bertrand Russell

All movements go too far. — Bertrand Russell
A stupid man’s report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconciously translates what he hears into something he can understand. — Bertrand Russell
It is a waste of energy to be angry with a man who behaves badly, just as it is to be angry with a car that won’t go. — Bertrand Russell
Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth — more than ruin — more even than death…. Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. — Bertrand Russell
Mathematics, rightly viewed, posses not only truth, but supreme beauty – a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture. — Bertrand Russell
Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim. — Bertrand Russell
Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons. — Bertrand Russell
Passive acceptance of the teacher’s wisdom is easy to most boys and girls. It involves no effort of independent thought, and seems rational because the teacher knows more than his pupils it is moreover the way to win the favour of the teacher unless he is a very exceptional man. Yet the habit of passive acceptance is a disastrous one in later life. It causes man to seek and to accept a leader, and to accept as a leader whoever is established in that position. — Bertrand Russell
It has been said that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which could support this. — Bertrand Russell

The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution. — Bertrand Russell
Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination. — Bertrand Russell
The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy – I mean that if you are happy you will be good. — Bertrand Russell
The place of the father in the modern suburban family is a very small one, particularly if he plays golf. — Bertrand Russell
This is one of those views which are so absolutely absurd that only very learned men could possibly adopt them. — Bertrand Russell
What the world needs is not dogma but an attitude of scientific inquiry combined with a belief that the torture of millions is not desirable, whether inflicted by Stalin or by a Deity imagined in the likeness of the believer. — Bertrand Russell

Men who are unhappy, like men who sleep badly, are always proud of the fact. — Bertrand Russell
When one admits that nothing is certain one must, I think, also admit that some things are much more nearly certain than others. It is much more nearly certain that we are assembled here tonight than it is that this or that political party is in the right. Certainly there are degrees of certainty, and one should be very careful to emphasize that fact, because otherwise one is landed in an utter skepticism, and complete skepticism would, of course, be totally barren and completely useless. — Bertrand Russell
Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness. — Bertrand Russell
The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible. — Bertrand Russell
One should as a rule respect public opinion in so far as is necessary to avoid starvation and to keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny, and is likely to interfere with happiness in all kinds of ways. — Bertrand Russell
To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization, and at present very few people have reached this level. — Bertrand Russell
We have, in fact, two kinds of morality side by side one which we preach but do not practice, and another which we practice but seldom preach. — Bertrand Russell
It is undesirable to believe a proposition when there is no ground whatsoever for supposing it is true. — Bertrand Russell
It is obvious that ‘obscenity’ is not a term capable of exact legal definition in the practice of the Courts, it means ‘anything that shocks the magistrate.’ — Bertrand Russell
Man is a credulous animal, and must believe something in the absence of good grounds for belief, he will be satisfied with bad ones. — Bertrand Russell

Best Bayard Rustin Quotes: The most famous quotes by Bayard Rustin
When I say I love Eastland, it sounds preposterous–a man who brutalizes people. But *you* love him or you wouldn’t be here. You’re going to Mississippi to create social change–and you love Eastland in your desire to create conditions which will redeem his children. Loving your enemy is manifest in putting your arms not around the man but around the social situation, to take power from those who misuse it–at which point they can become human too. — Bayard Rustin
