So far from science being irreligious, as many think, it is the neglect of science that is irreligious-it is the refusal to study the surrounding creation that is irreligious.

Herbert Spenser 193 quotes

To play billiards well is the sign of a misspent youth.

Herbert Spenser 193 quotes

Each new ontological theory, ...

Each new ontological theory, propounded in lieu of previous ones shown to be untenable, has been followed by a new criticism leading to a new scepticism. All possible conceptions have been one by one tried and found wanting; and so the entire field of speculation has been gradually exhausted without positive result: the only result reached being the negative one above stated, that the reality existing behind all appearances is, and must ever be, unknown.

Herbert Spenser 193 quotes

I had a great dislike to the ...

I had a great dislike to the annoyances entailed by baggage; and it was always with some feeling of elation that I cut myself free from everything but what I could carry about me. Like children, portmanteaus and trunks are hostages to fortune.

In science the important thing is to modify and change one's ideas as science advances.

People are beginning to see that the first requisite to success in life is to be a good animal.

The behavior of men to the lower animals, and their behavior to each other, bear a constant relationship.

Those who have never entered upon scientific pursuits know not a tithe of the poetry by which they are surrounded.

When a man's knowledge is not in order, the more of it he has the greater will be his confusion.

Hero-worship is strongest where there is least regard for human freedom.

We do not commonly see in a tax a diminution of freedom, and yet it clearly is one.

The tyrant is nothing but a slave turned inside out.

Without painting, sculpture, music, poetry, and the emotions produced by natural beauty of every kind, life would lose half its charm.

Herbert Spenser 193 quotes

If every man has freedom to do...

If every man has freedom to do all that he wills, provided he infringes not the equal freedom of any other man, then he is free to drop connection with the state-to relinquish its protection, and to refuse paying toward its support.

Herbert Spenser 193 quotes

Even the absurdest report may ...

Even the absurdest report may in nearly every instance be traced to an actual occurrence; and had there been no such actual occurrence, this preposterous misrepresentation of it would never have existed. Though the distorted or magnified image transmitted to us through the refracting medium of rumour, is utterly unlike the reality; yet in the absence of the reality there would have been no distorted or magnified image.

Herbert Spenser 193 quotes

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.
