Is there any moral enormity which might not be justified by imitation of such a deity? (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
Those only are happy who have their minds fixed on some object other than their own happiness; on the happiness of others, on the improvement of mankind, even on some art or pursuit, followed not as a means, but as itself an ideal end. Aiming thus at something else, they find happiness by the way (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
So Long as we do not harm others we should be free to think, speak, act, and live as we see fit, without molestation from individuals, law, or gov't (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
What citizens of a free country would listen to any offers of good and skillful administration in return for the abdication of freedom? (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
Human beings are not like sheep; and even sheep are not undistinguishably alike. A man cannot get a coat or a pair oboots to fit him, unless they are either made to his measure, or he has a whole warehouseful to choose from: and is it easier to fit him with a life than with a coat, or are human beings more like one another in their whole physical and spiritual conformation than in the shape of their feet? If it were only that people have diversities of taste, that is reason enough for not attempting to shape them all after one model (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
That a thing is peculiar; is no argument for it's being blamable; since the most criminal actions are to a being like man not more unnatural than most of the virtues (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
It appears, then, to be a condition of a genuinely scientific hypothesis, that it be not destined always to remain an hypothesis, but be certain to be either proved or disproved by - comparison with observed facts (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
The process of tracing regularity in any complicated, and at first sight confused, set of appearances, is necessarily tentative; we begin by making any supposition, even a false one, to see what consequences will follow from it ; and by observing how these differ from the real phenomena, we learn what corrections to make in our assumption (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
The validity of all the inductive methods depends on the assumption that every event, or the beginning of every phenomenon, must have some cause; some antecedent, upon the existence of which it is invariably and unconditionally consequent (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
And it is not difficult to show, by abundant instances, that to extend the bounds of what may be called moral police, until it encroaches on the most unquestionably legitimate liberty of the individual, is one of the most universal of all human propensities (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
To tax the larger incomes at a higher percentage than the smaller, is to lay a tax on industry and economy; to impose a penalty on people for having worked harder and saved more than their neighbors (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
The application of algebra to geometry... has immortalized the name of Descartes, and constitutes the greatest single step ever made in the progress of the exact sciences (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
The study of science teaches young men to think, while study of the classics teaches them to express thought (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
The besetting danger is not so much of embracing falsehood for truth, as of mistaking a part of the truth for the whole (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
Even if the received opinion be not only true, but the whole truth; unless it is suffered to be, and actually is, vigorously and earnestly contested, it will, by most of those who receive it, be held in the manner of a prejudice, with little comprehension or feeling of it's rational grounds (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
The laws and conditions of the production of wealth partake of the character of physical truths. There is nothing optional or arbitrary in them... It is not so with the Distribution of Wealth. That is a matter of human institution solely. The things once there, mankind, individually or collectively, can do with them as they like (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
Truths are known to us in two ways: some are known directly, and of themselves; some through the medium of other truths. The former are the subject of intuition, or consciousness; the latter, of inference; the latter of inference. The truths known by intuition are the original premisses, from which all others are inferred (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
Solitude in the presence of natural beauty and grandeur is the cradle of thought and aspirations which are not only good for the individual, but which society can ill do without (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
Whether moral and social phenomena are really exceptions to the general certainty and uniformity of the course of nature; and how far the methods, by which so many of the laws of the physical world have been numbered among truths irrevocably acquired and universally assented to, can be made instrumental to the gradual formation of a similar body of received doctrine in moral and political science (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
What is really inspiriting and ennobling in the doctrine of freewill, is the conviction that we have real power over the formation of our own character; that our will, by influencing some of our circumstances, can modify our future habits or capabilities of willing (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
The United States is no more a Christian nation because most of it's citizens are Christians than it is a 'white' nation because most of it's citizens are white. We are Americans because we practice democracy and believe in republican government, not because we practice revealed religion and believe in Bible-based government (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
To do as one would be done by, and to love one's neighbour as oneself, constitute the ideal perfection of utilitarian morality (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
The guesses which serve to give mental unity and wholeness to a chaos of scattered particulars, are accidents which rarely occur to any minds but those abounding in knowledge and disciplined in intellectual combinations (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
The reasons for legal intervention in favour of children apply not less strongly to the case of those unfortunate slaves and victims of the most brutal part of mankind - the lower animals (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
The worth of the state, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
There ought to exist the fullest liberty of professing and discussing, as a matter of ethical conviction, any doctrine, however immoral it may be considered (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
Every one is degraded, whether aware of it or not, when other people, without consulting him, take upon themselves unlimited power to regulate his destiny (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
Political Economy, in truth, has never pretended to give advice to mankind with no lights but it's own; though people who knew nothing but political economy (and therefore knew it ill) have taken upon themselves to advise, and could only do so by such lights as they had (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
Money is a machine for doing quickly and commodiously what would be done, though less quickly and commodiously, without it (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
