More quotes by Herbert Spencer
Science is organized knowledge.
Herbert Spencer
Practical atheism, seeing no guidance for human affairs but its own limited foresight, endeavors itself to play the god, and decide what will be good for mankind and what bad.
Herbert Spencer
A function to each organ, and each organ to its own function, is the law of all organization.
Herbert Spencer
All socialism involves slavery. That which fundamentally distinguishes the slave is that he labours under coercion to satisfy anothers desires.
Herbert Spencer
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
Never educate a child to be a gentleman or lady alone, but to be a man, a woman.
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
The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly, is to fill the world with fools.
Herbert Spencer
Do not try to produce an ideal child, it would find no fitness in this world.
Herbert Spencer
The saying that beauty is but skin deep, is but a skin-deep saying.
Herbert Spencer
Religion has been compelled by science to give up one after another of its dogmas. . . .
Herbert Spencer
When men hire themselves out to shoot other men to order, asking nothing about the justice of their cause, I don't care if they are shot themselves.
Herbert Spencer
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
In science the important thing is to modify and change one's ideas as science advances.
Herbert Spencer
Only when Genius is married to Science can the highest results be produced.
Herbert Spencer
A jury is composed of twelve men of average ignorance.
Herbert Spencer
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
How often misused words generate misleading thoughts.
Herbert Spencer
However insignificant the minority, and however trifling the proposed trespass against their rights, no such trespass is permissible.
Herbert Spencer
The child takes most of his nature of the mother, besides speech, manners, and inclination.
Herbert Spencer
