More quotes by Herbert Spencer
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
It is the function of parents to see that their children habitually experience the true consequences of their conduct.
Herbert Spencer
The wise man must remember that while he is a descendant of the past, he is a parent of the future.
Herbert Spencer
Strong as it looks at the outset, State-agency perpetually disappoints every one. Puny as are its first stages, private efforts daily achieve results that astound the world.
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
Progress is not an accident, not a thing within human control, but a beneficent necessity ... due to the working of a universal law. So surely must the things we call evil and immorality disappear so surely must man become perfect.
Herbert Spencer
Pervading all nature we may see at work a stern discipline , which is a little cruel that it may be very kind.
Herbert Spencer
The idea of disembodied spirits is wholly unsupported by evidence, and I cannot accept it.
Herbert Spencer
Be bold, be bold, and everywhere be bold.
Herbert Spencer
Feudalism, serfdom, slavery — all tyrannical institutions, are merely the most vigorous kinds of rule, springing out of, and necessary to, a bad state of man. The progress from these is in all cases the same — less government.
Herbert Spencer
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.
Herbert Spencer
Mother, when your children are irritable, do not make them more so by scolding and fault-finding, but correct their irritability by good nature and mirthfulness. Irritability comes from errors in food, bad air, too little sleep, a necessity for change of scene and surroundings from confinement in close rooms, and lack of sunshine.
Herbert Spencer
The universal basis of co-operation is the proportioning of benefits received to services rendered.
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
Every man is free to do that which he wills, provided he infringes not the equal freedom of any other man.
Herbert Spencer
Aggression which is flagitious when committed by one, is not sanctioned when committed by a host.
Herbert Spencer
Only when Genius is married to Science can the highest results be produced.
Herbert Spencer
Life is not for learning nor is life for working, but learning and working are for life.
Herbert Spencer
There is no origin for the idea of an afterlife, save the conclusion which the savage draws from the notion suggested by dreams.
Herbert Spencer
A jury is composed of twelve men of average ignorance.
