The concessions of the privileged to the unprivileged are seldom brought about by any better motive than the power of the unprivileged to extort them (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
Human nature is not a machine to be built after a model, and set to do exactly the work prescribed for it, but a tree, which requires to grow and develop itself on all sides, according to the tendency of the inward forces which make it a living thing (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
In the human mind, one-sidedness has always been the rule, and many-sidedness the exception. Hence, even in revolutions of opinion, one part of the truth usually sets while another rises (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
The spirit of improvement is not always a spirit of liberty, for it may aim at forcing improvements on an unwilling people (John Stuart Mill Quotes)

The great creative individual... is capable of more wisdom and virtue than collective man ever can be (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
They who know how to employ opportunities will often find that they can create them; and what we can achieve depends less on the amount of time we possess than on the use we make of our time (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
When the people are too much attached to savage independence, to be tolerant of the amount of power to which it is for their good that they should be subject, the state of society is not yet ripe for representative government (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
There is a limit to the legitimate interference of collective opinion with individual independence: and to find that limit, and maintain it against encroachment, is as indispensable to a good condition of human affairs, as protection against political despotism (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
A great statesman is he who knows when to depart from traditions, as well as when to adhere to them (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
Men are men before they are lawyers, or physicians, or merchants, or manufacturers; and if you make them capable and sensible men, they will make themselves capable and sensible lawyers or physicians (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
The struggle between Liberty and Authority is the most conspicuous feature in the portions of history with which we are earliest familiar; particularly in that of Greece, Rome, and England (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
If it were felt that the free development of individuality is one of the leading essentials of well-being; that it is not only a coordinate element with all that is designated by the terms civilisation, instruction, education, culture, but is itself a necessary part and condition of all those things; there would be no danger that liberty should be undervalued (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
What a country wants to make it richer is never consumption, but production. Where there is the latter, we may be sure that there is no want of the former. To produce, implies that the producer de_sires to consume; why else should he give himself useless labor? He may not wish to consume what he himself produces, but his motive for producing and selling is the desire to buy. Therefore, if the producers generally produce and sell more and more, they certainly also buy more and more (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
There is one plain rule of life. Try thyself unweariedly till thou findest the highest thing thou art capable of doing, faculties and outward circumstances being both duly considered, and then do it (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
All that makes existence valuable to any one depends on the enforcement of restraints upon the actions of other people (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
The idea that truth always triumphs over persecution is one of those pleasant falsehoods, which most experience refutes. History is teeming with instances of truth put down by persecution. If not put down forever, it may be set back for centuries (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
The most important thing women have to do is to stir up the zeal of women themselves (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
The price paid for intellectual pacification is the sacrifice of the entire moral courage of the human mind (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
When the land is cultivated entirely by the spade and no horses are kept, a cow is kept for every three acres of land (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
In this age, the man who dares to think for himself and to act independently does a service to his race (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
The world would be astonished if it knew how great a proportion of it's brightest ornaments, of those distinguished even in popular estimation for wisdom and virtue, are complete sceptics in religion (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
The time appears to me to have come when it is the duty of all to make their dissent from religion known (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
The pupil who is never required to do what he cannot do, never does what he can do (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
The tendency has always been strong to believe that whatever received a name must be an entity or being, having an independent existence of it's own. And if no real entity answering to the name could be found, men did not for that reason suppose that none existed, but imagined that it was something peculiarly abstruse and mysterious (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
There is always need of persons not only to discover new truths, and point out when what were once truths are true no longer, but also to commence new practices, and set the example of more enlightened conduct, and better taste and sense in human life (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
Christian morality (so called) has all the characters of a reaction; it is, in great part, a protest against Paganism. Its ideal is negative rather than positive; passive rather than action; innocence rather than Nobleness; Abstinence from Evil, rather than energetic Pursuit of Good: in it's precepts (as has been well said) "thou shalt not" predominates unduly over "thou shalt." (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
It is part of the irony of life that the strongest feelings of devoted gratitude of which human nature seems to be susceptible, are called forth in human beings towards those who, having the power entirely to crush their earthly existence, voluntarily refrain from using that power (John Stuart Mill Quotes)
