“Quote of the Day” – Handwriting Practice

Bertrand Russell (1872 – 1970) or Lord Russell was one of the greatest Englishmen in history. He was a mathematician, scientist, philosopher, and activist. He spent his life fighting governments and leaders and trying to make them do the right thing. In the 1960s there was a terrible fear that the world would be destroyed by nuclear war. Bertrand Russell got together with Albert Einstein and called for world leaders to behave more responsibly and save civilization. In 1961, when he was 89, he was arrested for protesting against nuclear weapons and put in prison for 7 days. He never stopped fighting for what was right and we owe him a lot.

 

“Teachers are, more than any other group, the guardians of civilization.”
