Bertrand Russell Quotes

There Was Once Upon A Time A Census Officer Who Had To Record The Names Of All Householders In A Certain Welsh Village. The First That He Questioned Was Called William Williams; So Were The Second, Third, Fourth.... At Last He Said To Himself: 'This Is Tedious; Evidently They Are All Called William Williams. I Shall Put Them Down So And Take A Holiday'. But He Was Wrong; There Was Just One Whose Name Was John Jones. This Shows That We May Go Astray If We Trust Too Implicitly To Induction By Simple Enumeration.
