If two or more instances of the phenomenon under investigation have only one circumstance in common, the circumstance in which alone all the instances agree is the cause (or effect) of the given phenomenon.

John Mill 395 quotes

The cause, then, philosophical...

The cause, then, philosophically speaking, is the sum total of the conditions, positive and negative, taken together; the whole of the contingencies of every description, which being realized, the consequent invariably follows.

John Mill 395 quotes

Of all many-sided subjects, [education] is the one which has the greatest number of sides.

Whatever crushes individuality...

Whatever crushes individuality is despotism, by whatever name it may be called and whether it professes to be enforcing the will of God or the injunctions of men.

John Mill 395 quotes

We have a right, also, in various ways, to act upon our unfavorable opinion of anyone, not to the oppression of his individuality, but in the exercise of ours.

John Mill 395 quotes

John Mill 395 quotes

War is an ugly thing, but not ...

John Mill 395 quotes

John Mill 395 quotes

The person who has nothing for...

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

John Mill 395 quotes

The only purpose for which pow...

The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant.

John Mill 395 quotes

The only part of the conduct o...

The only part of the conduct of any one, for which he is amenable to society, is that which concerns others. In the part which merely concerns himself, his independence is, of right, absolute. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign.

John Mill 395 quotes

The most cogent reason for res...

The most cogent reason for restricting the interference of government is the great evil of adding unnecessarily to its power.

John Mill 395 quotes

The liberty of the individual ...

The liberty of the individual must be thus far limited; he must not make himself a nuisance to other people.

John Mill 395 quotes

The individual is not accounta...

The individual is not accountable to society for his actions in so far as these concern the interests of no person but himself.

John Mill 395 quotes

The dictum that truth always t...

The dictum that truth always triumphs over persecution is one of the pleasant falsehoods which men repeat after one another till they pass into commonplaces, but which all experience refutes.

John Mill 395 quotes

Popular opinions, on subjects ...

Popular opinions, on subjects not palpable to sense, are often true, but seldom or never the whole truth.

John Mill 395 quotes

Pleasure and freedom from pain...

Pleasure and freedom from pain, are the only things desirable as ends.

One person with a belief is equal to ninety-nine who have only interests.

John Mill 395 quotes

Of two pleasures, if there be ...

Of two pleasures, if there be one which all or almost all who have experience of both give a decided preference, irrespective of any feeling of moral obligation to prefer it, that is the more desirable pleasure.
