Quote Details: Bertrand Russell: It is a waste... - The Quotations Page. According to Mr. Russell it is a waste of time to argue with an angry man or with a car that won't run. I have my own list, to which I expect my readers to contribute:
1. It is a waste of time to argue with She Who Must Be Obeyed.
2. It is a waste of time to tell a teenager to turn out the lights, lock the door, or whatever else you want him or her to do.
3. It is a waste of time to dye your hair, get a tummy tuck, or just about any other fool thing that someone wants to sell you to keep yourself from looking as old as you are.
4. It is a waste of time to tell a client what the best course of action is.
I could go on, but I have work to do.
