Wise words for the future from the past

I have recently read works by a few famous philosophers and would like to share some of their more memorable quotes with you.

Albert Camus – “Real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present”

Soren Kierkegaard – “A revolutionary age is an age of action; ours is the age of advertisement and publicity. Nothing ever happens but there is immediate publicity everywhere.In the present age a rebellion is, of all things, the most unthinkable.”

Bertrand Russell – “We only speak of faith when we wish to substitute emotion for evidence.”

Bertrand Russell – “Mankind has become so much one family that we cannot insure our own prosperity except by insuring that of everyone else. If you wish to be happy yourself, you must resign yourself to seeing others also happy.”

Julian was born in Leicester, attended school in Yorkshire, and university in Liverpool. He has been to 94 countries and territories and intends to make the 100 when travel is easier. He writes travel books, murder / mysteries and absurd fiction. His sense of humour is distilled from The Marx Brothers, Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, and Midsomer Murders. His latest book is about a Buddhist cat who tries to help his squirrel friend fly further from a children's slide.
