Herbert Spencer
  • The more specific idea of Evolution now reached is - a change from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity to a definite, coherent heterogeneity, accompanying the dissipation of motion and integration of matter.

  • In science the important thing is to modify and change one's ideas as science advances.

  • The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.

  • Education has for its object the formation of character.

  • We do not commonly see in a tax a diminution of freedom, and yet it clearly is one.
