Justice and Injustice
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.

Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Conservatives
Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.
Rating: 5.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Knowledge
He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Human Nature
Human nature is not a machine to be built after a model, and set to do exactly the work prescribed for it, but a tree, which requires to grow and develop itself on all sides, according to the tendency of the inward forces which make it a living thing.

Happiness
I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them.
Rating: 1.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Dissent
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.

Belief
One person with a belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine who have only interests.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Originality
Originality is the one thing unoriginal minds cannot feel the use of.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Individuality
That so few now dare to be eccentric, marks the chief danger of the time.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Wisdom
That which seems the height of absurdity in one generation often becomes the height of wisdom in the next.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Eccentricity

Custom
The despotism of custom is everywhere the standing hindrance to human advancement.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Bureaucracy
The disease which inflicts bureaucracy and what they usually die from is routine.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Self-Respect
The duty of man is the same in respect to his own nature as in respect to the nature of all other things, namely not to follow it but to amend it.
Rating: 2.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Mediocrity
The general tendency of things throughout the world is to render mediocrity the ascendant power among mankind.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Truth
The idea that truth always triumphs over persecution is one of those pleasant falsehoods, which most experience refutes. History is teeming with instances of truth put down by persecution. If not put down forever, it may be set back for centuries.

Feminism
The most important thing women have to do is to stir up the zeal of women themselves.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Freedom
The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good, in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Masses
The only power deserving the name is that of masses, and of governments while they make themselves the organ of the tendencies and instincts of masses.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Opinion
The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.

State
The worth of a State, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it -- a State which dwarfs its men, in order that they may be more docile instruments in its hands even for beneficial purposes -- will find that with small men no great thing can really be accomplished.

Experience
There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Excellence
There is one plain rule of life. Try thyself unweariedly till thou findest the highest thing thou art capable of doing, faculties and outward circumstances being both duly considered, and then do it.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Courage
Though the practice of chivalry fell even more sadly short of its theoretic standard than practice generally falls below theory, it remains one of the most precious monuments of the moral history of our race, as a remarkable instance of a concerted and organized attempt by a most disorganized and distracted society, to raise up and carry into practice a moral ideal greatly in advance of its social condition and institutions; so much so as to have been completely frustrated in the main object, yet never entirely inefficacious, and which has left a most sensible, and for the most part a highly valuable impress on the ideas and feelings of all subsequent times.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Understanding
To understand one woman is not necessarily to understand any other woman.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Happiness
Unquestionably, it is possible to do without happiness; it is done involuntarily by nineteen-twentieths of mankind.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

War
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their own free choice -- is often the means of their regeneration.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Opinion
We can never be sure that the opinion we are endeavoring to stifle is a false opinion; and even if we were sure, stifling it would be an evil still.
Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5

Individuality
What ever crushes individuality is despotism, no matter what name it is called.
