Image
Life is not for learning nor is life for working, but learning and working are for life.
Herbert Spencer
Image
This survival of the fittest implies multiplication of the fittest.
Herbert Spencer
Image
How often misused words generate misleading thoughts.
Herbert Spencer
Image
All socialism involves slavery. That which fundamentally distinguishes the slave is that he labours under coercion to satisfy anothers desires.
Herbert Spencer
Image
If men use their liberty in such a way as to surrender their liberty, are they thereafter any the less slaves? If people by a plebiscite elect a man despot over them, do they remain free because the despotism was of their own making?
Herbert Spencer
Image
Only when Genius is married to Science can the highest results be produced.
Herbert Spencer
Image
The freest form of government is only the least objectionable form. The rule of the many by the few we call tyranny: the rule of the few by the many is tyranny also only of a less intense kind.
Herbert Spencer
Image
It becomes possible to admit that plainness may coexist with nobility of nature, and fine features with baseness and yet to hold that mental and physical perfection are fundamentally connected, and will, when the present causes of incongruity have worked themselves out, be ever found united.
Herbert Spencer
Image
The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly, is to fill the world with fools.
Herbert Spencer
Image
There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance-that principle is contempt prior to investigation.
Herbert Spencer
Image
The question of questions for the politicians should ever be-What type of social structure am I tending to produce? But this is a question he never entertains.
Herbert Spencer
Image
Government is essentially immoral. The State employs evil weapons to subjugate evil, and is alike contaminated by the objects with which it deals, and the means by which it works.
Herbert Spencer
Image
All socialism involves slavery.
Herbert Spencer
Image
Thus poetry, regarded as a vehicle of thought, is especially impressive partly because it obeys all the laws of effective speech, and partly because in so doing it imitates the natural utterances of excitement.
Herbert Spencer
Image
However insignificant the minority, and however trifling the proposed trespass against their rights, no such trespass is permissible.
Herbert Spencer
Image
Every unpunished delinquency has a family of delinquencies.
Herbert Spencer
Image
The child takes most of his nature of the mother, besides speech, manners, and inclination.
Herbert Spencer
Image
In societies of low civilization, there is no money.
Herbert Spencer
Image
Ethical ideas and sentiments have to be considered as parts of the phenomena of life at large. We have to deal with man as a product of evolution, with society as a product of evolution, and with moral phenomena as products of evolution.
Herbert Spencer
Image
Those whose hardships are set forth in pamphlets and proclaimed in sermons and speeches which echo throughout society, are assumed to be all worthy souls, grievously wronged and none of them are thought of as bearing the penalties of their misdeeds.
Herbert Spencer
