A sense of duty is useful in work but offensive in personal relations. People wish to be liked, not to be endured with patient resignation.
From Bertrand Russell
The only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation.
Love is something far more than desire for sexual intercourse; it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.
The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.
I believe in using words, not fists. I believe in my outrage knowing people are living in boxes on the street. I believe in honesty. I believe in a good time. I believe in good food. I believe in sex.
To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so.
To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
