More quotes by 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
A living thing is distinguished from a dead thing by the multiplicity of the changes at any moment taking place in it.
Herbert Spencer
Conservatism defends those coercive arrangements which a still-lingering savageness makes requisite. Radicalism endeavours to realize a state more in harmony with the character of the ideal man.
Herbert Spencer
Never educate a child to be a gentleman or lady alone, but to be a man, a woman.
Herbert Spencer
All socialism involves slavery.
Herbert Spencer
In the supremacy of self-control consists one of the perfections of the ideal man.
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
Religion has been compelled by science to give up one after another of its dogmas. . . .
Herbert Spencer
Our lives are universally shortened by our ignorance.
Herbert Spencer
Marriage: A word which should be pronounced mirage.
Herbert Spencer
Life is not for learning nor is life for working, but learning and working are for life.
Herbert Spencer
People are beginning to see that the first requisite to success in life is to be a good animal.
Herbert Spencer
Hero-worship is strongest where there is least regard for human freedom.
Herbert Spencer
Absolute morality is the regulation of conduct in such a way that pain shall not be inflicted.
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
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
The child takes most of his nature of the mother, besides speech, manners, and inclination.
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
Music must take rank as the highest of the fine arts - as the one which, more than any other, ministers to human welfare.
Herbert Spencer
The most important attribute of man as a moral being is the faculty of self-control.
Herbert Spencer
