罗素关于道德所要说的十分简单:
“我要说,爱是明智的,恨是愚蠢的。在这个日益紧密相连的世界,我们必须学会容忍彼此,我们必须学会接受这样一个事实——总会有人说出我们不想听的话。只有这样,我们才有可能共同生存。假如我们想要共存,而非共亡,我们就必须学会这种宽容与忍让,因为它们对于人类在这个星球上的存续,是至关重要的。”
(I should say: Love is wise, hatred is foolish. In this world which is getting more and more closely inter-connected we have to learn to tolerate each other, we have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we don’t like. We can only live together in that way and if we are to live together and not die together we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet.)
