[Quote No.35188] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"A general State education is a mere contrivance for moulding people to be exactly like one another: and as the mould in which it casts them is that which pleases the predominant power in the government, whether this be a monarch, a priesthood, an aristocracy, or the majority of the existing generation, in proportion as it is efficient and successful, it establishes a despotism over the mind, leading by natural tendency to one over the body." - John Stuart Mill
Famous social and economic philosopher. From his book, 'On Liberty', published 1859.

[Quote No.56634] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Freedom of thought, speech, expression and press versus censorship and propaganda:] The time, it is to be hoped, is gone by, when any defence would be necessary of the 'liberty of the press' as one of the securities against corrupt or tyrannical government. No argument, we may suppose, can now be needed, against permitting a legislature or an executive, not identified in interest with the people, to prescribe opinions to them, and determine what doctrines or what arguments they shall be allowed to hear." - John Stuart Mill
(1806–1873). Quote from his book, 'On Liberty', published 1869. [Chapter II: Of the Liberty of Thought and Discussion].

[Quote No.56863] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Freedom of thought, speech, expression and press versus censorship and propaganda:] 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." - John Stuart Mill

[Quote No.12210] Need Area: Mind > Plan
"He who lets the world, or his own portion of it, choose his plan of life for him, has no need of any other faculty than the ape-like one of imitation. He who chooses his plan for himself, employs all his faculties. He must use observation to see, reasoning and judgment to foresee, activity to gather materials for decision, discrimination to decide, and when he has decided, firmness and self-control to hold to his deliberate decision.

"To tax the larger incomes at a higher percentage than the smaller, is to lay a tax on industry and economy; to impose a penalty on people for having worked harder and saved more than their neighbors.
" - John Stuart Mill
(1806 – 1873), British philosopher, political economist, member of parliament and civil servant. He was an influential contributor to social theory, political theory, and political economy. He has been called 'the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the nineteenth century'.Mill's conception of liberty justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state control. He was a proponent of utilitarianism, an ethical theory developed by Jeremy Bentham. Hoping to remedy the problems found in an inductive approach to science, such as confirmation bias, he clearly set forth the premises of falsification as the key component in the scientific method. Mill was also a Member of Parliament and an important figure in liberal political philosophy.

[Quote No.29034] Need Area: Money > Invest
"The usual effect of the attempts of government to encourage consumption [for example intervention by central banks to unreasonably lower interest rates], is merely to prevent saving that is to promote unproductive consumption at the expense of reproductive, and diminish the national wealth [in the long run] by the very means which were intended to increase it. What a country wants to make it richer is never consumption, but production. Where there is the latter, we may be sure that there is no want of the former." - John Stuart Mill
Famous economist. Quote from his work entitled 'Of the Influence of Consumption on Production', from 'Essays on Some Unsettled Questions of Political Economy', published 1829.

[Quote No.35815] Need Area: Money > Invest
"In all the more advanced communities the great
majority of things are worse done by intervention of
government, than the individuals most interested
in the matter would do them, or cause them to be
done, if left to themselves. [Therefore the doctrine of leaving it to market competition to determine - laissez-faire (French: 'allow to do') - but this does not mean no rules at all. The government would still need to ensure the citizen's inalienable rights to liberty - free choice, and private property by guarding against fraud, force, coercion and corruption and anti-market-competitive cartels and monopolies.]

[Quote No.36492] Need Area: Friends > Children
"A general State education is a mere contrivance for moulding people to be exactly like one another: and as the mould in which it casts them is that which pleases the predominant power in the government, whether this be a monarch, a priesthood, an aristocracy, or the majority of the existing generation, in proportion as it is efficient and successful, it establishes a despotism over the mind, leading by natural tendency to one over the body. [The current public education system is more focused on producing people with the attitudes, knowledge and skills to be good workers rather than people with all the life-skills to have a balanced, successful life. It is therefore the responsibility of parents, wise and caring teachers and the students themselves to learn the meta-lifeskills that transform knowledge, educational qualifications and work competency into wisdom, success and happiness.]" - John Stuart Mill
