More quotes by Herbert Spencer

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
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
It is a mistake to assume that government must necessarily last forever. The institution marks a certain stage of civilization-is natural to a particular phase of human development. It is not essential, but incidental. As amongst the Bushmen we find a state antecedent to government, so may there be one in which it shall have become extinct.
Herbert Spencer
The universal basis of co-operation is the proportioning of benefits received to services rendered.
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
Every unpunished delinquency has a family of delinquencies.
Herbert Spencer
In the supremacy of self-control consists one of the perfections of the ideal man.
Herbert Spencer
We must infer that a plant or animal of any species, is made up of special units, in all of which there dwells the intrinsic aptitude to aggregate into the form of that species: just as in the atoms of a salt, there dwells the intrinsic aptitude to crystallize in a particular way.
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
