Mill

Famous quotes containing the word mill:

    The miller believes that all the wheat grows so that his mill keeps running.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    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.
    —John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)

    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.
    —John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)
