Bertrand Russell
649 citations

A habit of finding pleasure in thought rather than action is a safeguard against unwisdom and excessive love of power, a means of preserving serenity in misfortune and peace of mind among worries. A life confined to what is personal is likely, sooner or later, to become unbearably painful; it is only by windows into a larger and less fretful cosmos that the more tragic parts of life become endurable. ✨ Bertrand Russell, John Greer Slater, Peter Köllner (1996). A Fresh Look at Empiricism: 1927-42, p.310, Psychology Press
