Herbert Spencer

Herbert Spencer
Image
The poverty of the incapable, the distresses that come upon the imprudent, the starvation of the idle, and those shoulderings aside of the weak by the strong, which leave so many in shallows and in miseries, are the decrees of a large, far-seeing benevolence.
Herbert Spencer
Image
The idea of disembodied spirits is wholly unsupported by evidence, and I cannot accept it.
Herbert Spencer
Image
Lusts are like agues the fit is not always on, and yet the man is not rid of his disease and some men's lusts, like some agues, have not such quick returns as others.
Herbert Spencer
Image
Music ministers to human welfare more than any other art.
Herbert Spencer
Image
Aggression which is flagitious when committed by one, is not sanctioned when committed by a host.
Herbert Spencer
Image
Hero-worship is strongest where there is least regard for human freedom.
Herbert Spencer
Image
A function to each organ, and each organ to its own function, is the law of all organization.
Herbert Spencer
