Herbert Spencer Quote

The object of education is to form beings capable of governing themselves, and not to be governed by others.

If men use their freedom in such a way that they renounce it, can they be considered any less slaves? If the people choose by plebiscite a despot to govern them, are they still free because despotism has been their own doing?

Progress is not an accident, it is a necessity, a part of nature.

Train yourself instead of waiting to be trained and shaped.

If it is a duty to respect the rights of others, it is also a duty to maintain one's own.
