Text Quotes
There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) Unquestionably, it is possible to do without happiness; it is done involuntarily by nineteen twentieths of mankind  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) What distinguishes the majority of men from the few is their inability to act according to their beliefs  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) Whatever crushes individuality is despotism, by whatever name it may be called and whether it professes to be enforcing the will of God or the injunctions of men  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) A party of order or stability, and a party of progress or reform, are both necessary elements of a healthy state of political life  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) All action is for the sake of some end; and rules of action, it seems natural to suppose, must take their whole character and color from the end to which they are subservient  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) All desirable things... are desirable either for the pleasure inherent in themselves, or as a means to the promotion of pleasure and the prevention of pain  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) All political revolutions, not affected by foreign conquest, originate in moral revolutions. The subversion of established institutions is merely one consequence of the previous subversion of established opinions  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) I am not aware that any community has a right to force another to be civilized  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) In all intellectual debates, both sides tend to be correct in what they affirm, and wrong in what they deny  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) No slave is a slave to the same lengths, and in so full a sense of the word, as a wife is  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) Popular opinions, on subjects not palpable to sense, are often true, but seldom or never the whole truth  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) The liberty of the individual must be thus far limited; he must not make himself a nuisance to other people  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) The only part of the conduct of any one, for which he is amenable to society, is that which concerns others. In the part which merely concerns himself, his independence is, of right, absolute. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) We have a right, also, in various ways, to act upon our unfavorable opinion of anyone, not to the oppression of his individuality, but in the exercise of ours  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) It is a bitter thought, how different a thing the Christianity of the world might have been, if the Christian faith had been adopted as the religion of the empire under the auspices of Marcus Aurelius instead of those of Constantine  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) Stupidity is much the same all the world over. A stupid person's notions and feelings may confidently be inferred from those which prevail in the circle by which the person is surrounded. Not so with those whose opinions and feelings are an emanation from their own nature and faculties  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) No great improvements in the lot of mankind are possible until a great change takes place in the fundamental constitution of their modes of thought  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) No one can be a great thinker who does not recognize that as a thinker it is his first duty to follow his intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) Both teachers and learners go to sleep at their post as soon as there is no enemy in the field  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) But society has now fairly got the better of individuality; and the danger which threatens human nature is not the excess, but the deficiency, of personal Impulses and preferences  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by it's collision with error  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) The fatal tendency of mankind to leave off thinking about a thing when it is no longer doubtful is the cause of half their errors  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) Instead of the function of governing, for which it is radically unfit, the proper office of a representative assembly is to watch and control the government  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, are of a different opinion, it is because they only know their own side of the question  (John Stuart Mill Quotes) Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing  (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
