Herbert Spencer Quote

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

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

Herbert Spencer

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?

Herbert Spencer

Time: what men always try to kill, but ends up killing them.

Herbert Spencer

Train yourself instead of waiting to be trained and shaped.

Herbert Spencer

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

Herbert Spencer
