“Se portanto a escolha tivesse de ser feita entre o comunismo com todas as suas chances e o atual sistema social com todos seus sofrimentos e injustiças; se a instituição da propriedade privada implicasse com consequência que o produto do trabalho fosse partilhado como agora o vemos ser, quase que na razão inversa ao trabalho - a porção maior para os que jamais trabalharam, a segunda maior para aqueles cujo trabalho nominal e assim em escala descendente, a remuneração se apequenado na medida em que o trabalho se torna mais duro e mais desagradável, até que o trabalho corporal mais fatigante e exaustivo não possa contar com certeza sequer com o ganho da satisfação das necessidades vitais; se isso ou o comunismo fosse a alternativa, todas as dificuldades, grandes ou pequenas, do comunismo não seriam seriam mais que poeira no prato da balança”

“É melhor ser Sócrates insatisfeito do que um porco satisfeito; é melhor ser Sócrates insatisfeito que um imbecil satisfeito. E, se o imbecil ou o porco são de opinião diferente, é que só conhecem um lado da questão: o deles. A outra parte, para fazer a comparação, conhece os dois lados.”

Questão

“Mesmo no que se faz por prazer o conformismo é a primeira coisa em que se pensa; as pessoas desejam em grupo; exercem a escolha apenas entre coisas comummente feitas; fogem da peculiaridade de gosto e da excentricidade de conduta como de crimes; até que, à força de não seguirem a própria natureza, não têm mais natureza a seguir; as suas capacidades humanas mirram e morrem; tornam-se incapazes de desejos fortes e de prazeres naturais; e não apresentam, em regra, opiniões e sentimentos brotados do íntimo, propriamente seus. É essa, entretanto, a condição desejável da natureza humana?”

“Entretanto, sob esta condição, a sociedade tem todo o direito de revogar ou alterar qualquer direito particular de propriedade que, depois de cuidadosa consideração, ela considere ser um obstaculo ao bem público. E, reconhecidamente, o terrível libelo que, como vimos num capitulo anterior, os socialistas podem apresentar contra a atual ordem econômica da sociedade exige completa consideração de todos os meios pelos quais a instituição pode vir a ter uma chance de funcionar de maneira mais benéfica para aquela grande parcela da sociedade que presentemente usufrui a menor parcela de seus benefícios diretos.”

“Estou convencido de que as relações sociais dos dois sexos, que subordinam um sexo a outro em nome da lei, são más em si mesmas e constituem um dos principais obstáculos que se opuseram ao progresso da humanidade; estou convencido de que devem ser substituídas por uma igualdade perfeita.”

“A vontade do povo, além disso, quer dizer na prática a vontade da mais numerosa ou mais ativa parte do povo; a maioria, ou aqueles que conseguem se fazer aceitos como a maioria; o povo, consequentemente, pode desejar oprimir uma parte de si mesmo; e contra isso são necessárias muitas precauções, assim como qualquer outro abuso de poder.”

John Stuart Mill livro Considerations on Representative Government

In a Parliamentary debate with the Conservative MP, John Pakington (May 31, 1866). Hansard, vol 183, col 1592. Pakington was referring to Footnote 3 to Chapter 7 of Mill's "Considerations on Representative Government".
Misquoted as "I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it." in "Life of John Stuart Mill" (1889) by W. L. Courtney, p. 147.
This seems to have become paraphrased as "Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives." which was a variant published in Quotations for Our Time (1978), edited by Laurence J. Peter.

“All those to whom I looked up, were of opinion that the pleasure of sympathy with human beings, and the feelings which made the good of others, and especially of mankind on a large scale, the object of existence, were the greatest and surest sources of happiness. Of the truth of this I was convinced, but to know that a feeling would make me happy if I had it, did not give me the feeling.”

“My father's moral inculcations were at all times mainly those of the "Socratici viri;" justice, temperance (to which he gave a very extended application), veracity, perseverance, readiness to encounter pain and especially labour; regard for the public good; estimation of persons according to their merits, and of things according to their intrinsic usefulness; a life of exertion in contradiction to one of self-indulgent sloth. These and other moralities he conveyed in brief sentences, uttered as occasion arose, of grave exhortation, or stern reprobation and contemp. But though direct moral teaching does much, indirect does more; and the effect my father produced on my character, did not depend solely on what he said or did with that direct object, but also, and still more, on what manner of man he was.”

“I now saw, that a science is either deductive or experimental, according as, in the province it deals with, the effects of causes when conjoined, are or are not the sums of the effects which the same causes produce when separate. It followed that politics must be a deductive science. It thus appeared, that both Macaulay and my father were wrong; the one in assimilating the method of philosophising in politics to the purely experimental method of chemistry; while the other, though right in adopting a deductive method, had made a wrong selection of one, having taken as the type of deduction, not the appropriate process, that of the deductive branches of natural philosophy, but the inappropriate one of pure geometry, which, not being a science of causation at all, does not require or admit of any summing-up of effects.”
