Mill Marked

Famous quotes containing the words mill and/or marked:

    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.
    —John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)

    He whom God has touched will always be a being apart: he is, whatever he may do, a stranger among men; he is marked by a sign.
