More from John Stuart Mill
"The strongest of all arguments against the present constitution of society is, that it does not permit the free development of every individual."
"I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them."
"The only freedom which consists in doing what one likes, without regard to the tastes and feelings of other people, is not freedom at all."
"The tendency of all changes of a progressive kind, is to give increased ascendancy to the comparatively uninstructed many."
"Men are not more zealous for truth than they often are for error, and a sufficient application of legal or even of social penalties will generally succeed in stopping the propagation of either."
