John Stuart Mill Quotes
A man 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 Stuart Mill Quotes
A party of order or stability, and a party of progress or reform, are both necessary elements of a healthy state of political life. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
Actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness; wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness. By happiness is intended pleasure and the absence of pain. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
All action is for the sake of some end; and rules of action, it seems natural to suppose, must take their whole character and color from the end to which they are subservient. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
All desirable things... are desirable either for the pleasure inherent in themselves, or as a means to the promotion of pleasure and the prevention of pain. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
All good things which exist are the fruits of originality. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
All political revolutions, not affected by foreign conquest, originate in moral revolutions. The subversion of established institutions is merely one consequence of the previous subversion of established opinions. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
As for charity, it is a matter in which the immediate effect on the persons directly concerned, and the ultimate consequence to the general good, are apt to be at complete war with one another. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
Ask yourself whether you are happy and you cease to be so. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character had abounded; and the amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and courage which it contained. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
Everyone who receives the protection of society owes a return for the benefit. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
He who lets the world, or his own portion of it, choose his plan of life for him, has no need of any other faculty than the ape-like one of imitation. He who chooses his plan for himself, employs all his faculties. He must use observation to see, reasoning and judgment to foresee, activity to gather materials for decision, discrimination to decide, and when he has decided, firmness and self-control to hold to his deliberate decision. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
I am not aware that any community has a right to force another to be civilized. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
If mankind minus one were of one opinion, then mankind is no more justified in silencing the one than the one - if he had the power - would be justified in silencing mankind. - John Stuart Mill Quotes

Indeed the dictum that truth always triumphs over persecution, is one of those pleasant falsehoods which men repeat after one another till they pass into common places, but which all experience refutes. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
It is questionable if all the mechanical inventions yet made have lightened the days toil of any human being. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
Life has a certain flavor for those who have fought and risked all that the sheltered and protected can never experience. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
Men might as well be imprisoned, as excluded from the means of earning their bread. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
Next to selfishness the principal cause which makes life unsatisfactory is want of mental cultivation. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
No great improvements in the lot of mankind are possible until a great change takes place in the fundamental constitution of their modes of thought. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
No one can be a great thinker who does not recognize that as a thinker it is his first duty to follow his intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead. Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study, and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think. - John Stuart Mill Quotes
