When you take comprehensive, then we're dealing with certain issues like full citizenship ... And whatever else we disagree on, I think we would agree on that that's a more toxic and contentious issue, granting full amnesty.

More quotes by Herbert Spencer
Truth generally lies in the coordination of antagonistic opinions.
Herbert Spencer
The primary use of knowledge is for such guidance of conduct under all circumstances as shall make living complete. All other uses of knowledge are secondary.
Herbert Spencer
When a man's knowledge is not in order, the more of it he has the greater will be his confusion.
Herbert Spencer
Objects we ardently pursue bring little happiness when gained most of our pleasures come from unexpected sources.
Herbert Spencer
The saying that beauty is but skin deep, is but a skin-deep saying.
Herbert Spencer
Government is essentially immoral.
Herbert Spencer
The most important attribute of man as a moral being is the faculty of self-control.
Herbert Spencer
No philosopher's stone of a constitution can produce golden conduct from leaden instincts.
Herbert Spencer
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
Architecture, sculpture, painting, music, and poetry, may truly be called the efflorescence of civilised life.
Herbert Spencer
Hero-worship is strongest where there is least regard for human freedom.
Herbert Spencer
All evil results from the non-adaptation of constitution to conditions. This is true of everything that lives. Does a shrub dwindle in poor soil, or become sickly when deprived of light, or die outright if removed to a cold climate? it is because the harmony between its organization and its circumstances has been destroyed.
Herbert Spencer
In science the important thing is to modify and change one's ideas as science advances.
Herbert Spencer
The existence of a first cause of the universe is a necessity of thought ... Amid the mysteries which become more mysterious the more they are thought about, there will remain the one absolute certainty that we are over in the presence of an Infinite, Eternal Energy from which all things proceed.
Herbert Spencer
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
It must be admitted that the conception of virtue cannot be separated from the conception of happiness-producing conduct.
Herbert Spencer
No place, no company, no age, no person is temptation-free let no man boast that he was never tempted, let him not be high-minded, but fear, for he may be surprised in that very instant wherein he boasteth that he was never tempted at all.
Herbert Spencer
The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly, is to fill the world with fools.
Herbert Spencer
Our lives are universally shortened by our ignorance.
Herbert Spencer
A jury is composed of twelve men of average ignorance.
Herbert Spencer
