Education makes a man a more intelligent shoemaker, if that be his occupation, but not by teaching him how to make shoes it does so by the mental exercise it gives, and the habits it impresses.

More quotes by John Stuart Mill
The moral influence of woman over man is almost always salutary.
John Stuart Mill
In early times, the great majority of the male sex were slaves, as well as the whole of the female. And many ages elapsed, some of them ages of high cultivation, before any thinker was bold enough to question the rightfulness, and the absolute social necessity, either of the one slavery or of the other.
John Stuart Mill
The true virtue of human beings is fitness to live together as equals claiming nothing for themselves but what they as freely concede to everyone else regarding command of any kind as an exceptional neccessity, and in all cases a temporary one.
John Stuart Mill
The perpetual obstacle to human advancement is custom.
John Stuart Mill
I had learnt from experience that many false opinions may be exchanged for true ones, without in the least altering the habits of mind of which false opinions are made.
John Stuart Mill
In proportion to the development of his individuality, each person becomes more valuable to himself, and is therefore capable of being more valuable to others. . . .
John Stuart Mill
The habit of analysis has a tendency to wear away the feelings.
John Stuart Mill
As often as a study is cultivated by narrow minds, they will draw from it narrow conclusions.
John Stuart Mill
How can great minds be produced in a country where the test of great minds is agreeing in the opinion of small minds?
John Stuart Mill
A people may prefer a free government, but if by momentary discouragement or temporary panic, or a fit of enthusiasm for an individual, they can be induced to lay their liberties at the feet of even a great man, or trust him with powers to subvert their institutions, in all these cases they are unfit for liberty.
John Stuart Mill
Whatever crushes individuality is despotism.
John Stuart Mill
There is an imaginary circle drawn around every human being, over which no government should be able to step.
John Stuart Mill
In this age, the mere example of non-conformity, the mere refusal to bend the knee to custom, is itself a service. Precisely because the tyranny of opinion is such as to make eccentricity a reproach, it is desirable, in order to break through that tyranny, that people should be eccentric.
John Stuart Mill
Whatever helps to shape the human being - to make the individual what he is, or hinder him from being what he is not - is part of his education.
John Stuart Mill
Each undervalues that part of the materials of thought with which he is not familiar.
John Stuart Mill
There is no 'one-size-fits-all' way to build an audience.
John Stuart Mill
Human beings are no longer born to their place in life...but are free to employ their faculties and such favorable chances as offer, to achieve the lot which may appear to them as desirable.
John Stuart Mill
The liberty of the individual must be thus far limited he must not make himself a nuisance to other people.
John Stuart Mill
The most cogent reason for restricting the interference of government is the great evil of adding unnecessarily to its power.
John Stuart Mill
Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative.
John Stuart Mill
