More quotes by Herbert Spencer
Every unpunished delinquency has a family of delinquencies.
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
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
In societies of low civilization, there is no money.
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 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
Education has for its object to develop the child into a man of well proportioned and harmonious nature-this is alike the aim of parent and teacher.
Herbert Spencer
Those whose hardships are set forth in pamphlets and proclaimed in sermons and speeches which echo throughout society, are assumed to be all worthy souls, grievously wronged and none of them are thought of as bearing the penalties of their misdeeds.
Herbert Spencer
No philosopher's stone of a constitution can produce golden conduct from leaden instincts.
Herbert Spencer
Only when Genius is married to Science can the highest results be produced.
Herbert Spencer
People are beginning to see that the first requisite to success in life is to be a good animal.
Herbert Spencer
Of all the knowledge, that most worth having is knowledge about health! The first requisite of a good life is to be a healthy person.
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
A jury is composed of twelve men of average ignorance.
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
Without painting, sculpture, music, poetry, and the emotions produced by natural beauty of every kind, life would lose half its charm.
Herbert Spencer
Never educate a child to be a gentleman or lady alone, but to be a man, a woman.
Herbert Spencer
A nation's institutions and beliefs are determined by it's character.
Herbert Spencer
Religion is the recognition that all things are manifestations of a Power which transcends our knowledge.
Herbert Spencer
Absolute morality is the regulation of conduct in such a way that pain shall not be inflicted.
Herbert Spencer
