On religion in particular, the time appears to me to have come, when it is a duty of all who, being qualified in point of knowledge, have, on mature consideration, satisfied themselves that the current opinions are not only false, but hurtful, to make their dissent known.

John Mill 395 quotes

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 Mill 395 quotes

It must be granted that in eve...

It must be granted that in every syllogism, considered as an argument to prove the conclusion, there is a petitio principii. When we say, All men are mortal Socrates is a man therefore Socrates is mortal; it is unanswerably urged by the adversaries of the syllogistic theory, that the proposition, Socrates is mortal.

John Mill 395 quotes

The maxim is, that whatever ca...

The maxim is, that whatever can be affirmed (or denied) of a class, may be affirmed (or denied) of everything included in the class. This axiom, supposed to be the basis of the syllogistic theory, is termed by logicians the dictum de omni et nullo.

John Mill 395 quotes

Among the facts of the universe to be accounted for, it may be said, is Mind; and it is self evident that nothing can have produced Mind but Mind.

John Mill 395 quotes

The principle itself of dogmatic religion, dogmatic morality, dogmatic philosophy, is what requires to be booted out; not any particular manifestation of that principle.

John Mill 395 quotes

History shows that great economic and social forces flow like a tide over communities only half conscious of that which is befalling them. Wise statesmen foresee what time is thus bringing, and try to shape institutions and mold men's thoughts and purposes in accordance with the change that is silently coming on. The unwise are those who bring nothing constructive to the process, and who greatly imperil the future of mankind by leaving great questions to be fought out between ignorant change on one hand and ignorant op

But society has now fairly got the better of individuality; and the danger which threatens human nature is not the excess, but the deficiency, of personal Impulses and preferences.

John Mill 395 quotes

The great creative individual ...

The great creative individual . . . is capable of more wisdom and virtue than collective man ever can be.

John Mill 395 quotes

It is given to no human being to stereotype a set of truths, and walk safely by their guidance with his mind's eye closed.

It is better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a pig satisfied.

Was there ever any domination that did not appear natural to those who possessed it?

Men do not desire to be rich, but to be richer than other men.

John Mill 395 quotes

The principles which men profe...

The principles which men profess on any controverted subject are usually a very incomplete exponent of the opinions they really hold.

John Mill 395 quotes

Men do not want solely the obedience of women, they want their sentiments.

John Mill 395 quotes

The human faculties of percept...

The human faculties of perception, judgment, discriminative feeling, mental activity, and even moral preference, are exercised only in making a choice. He who does anything because it is the custom, makes no choice.

John Mill 395 quotes

Persons of genius are, ex vi termini, more individual than any other people - less capable, consequently, of fitting themselves, without hurtful compression, into any of the small number of moulds which society provides in order to save its members the trouble of forming their character.

The moment one asks himself whether he is happy, he ceases to be so.

John Mill 395 quotes

If the earth must lose that gr...

If the earth must lose that great portion of its pleasantness which it owes to things that the unlimited increase of wealth and population would extirpate from it, for the mere purpose of enabling it to support a larger, but not a happier or a better population, I sincerely hope, for the sake of posterity, that they will be content to be stationary, long before necessity compels them to it.

John Mill 395 quotes

A population may be too crowded, though all be amply supplied with food and raiment. It is not good for a man to be kept perforce at all times in the presence of his species...
