Bertrand Russell Quotes:
Ocupation: Philosopher
Life: May 18, 1872 - February 2, 1970
Birthday: May 18
Death: February 2
Admit at least one painful truth to yourself every day. Teach yourself to feel that life would still be worth living even if you were not immeasurably superior to all your friends. Exercises of this sort, prolonged through several years, will at last enable you to admit facts without flinching, and will, in so doing, free you from the empire of fear over a very large field.
