Herbert Spencer

Jeśli ludzie wykorzystują swoją wolność w taki sposób, aby zrzec się swojej wolności, czy są oni odtąd mniej niewolnikami? Jeśli ludzie w wyniku plebiscytu wybierają despota na mężczyznę, czy pozostają wolni, ponieważ despotyzm był ich własnym dziełem?

If men use their liberty in such a way as to surrender their liberty, are they thereafter any the less slaves? If people by a plebiscite elect a man despot over them, do they remain free because the despotism was of their own making?

Time: That which man is always trying to kill, but which ends in killing him.

Tyran to nic innego niż niewolnik przenicowany na lewą stronę.

The tyrant is nothing but a slave turned inside out.

Do not try to produce an ideal child; it would find no fitness in this world.

All socialism involves slavery

those who have never entered upon scientific pursuits know not a tithe of the poetry by which they are surrounded . . . Sad, indeed, is it to see how men occupy themselves with trivialities, and are indifferent to the grandest phenomena--- care not to understand the architecture of the heavens, but are deeply interested in some contemptible controversy about the intrigues of Mary Queen of Scots!

Every man has freedom to do all that he wills, provided that he infringes not on the equal freedom of others.
