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
Image
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
Image
Do not try to produce an ideal child, it would find no fitness in this world.
Herbert Spencer
Image
The society exists for the benefit of its members not its members for the benefit of the society.
