Σελίδα 297 - In words a man may pretend to abjure their empire, but in reality he will remain subject to it all the while. The principle of utility recognizes this subjection, and assumes it for the foundation of that system, the object of which is to rear the fabric of felicity by the hand of reason and of law.

Σελίδα 124 - ... average, since an arrangement of all men and all women by order of capacity would yield a highly diversified series. And, further, that qualitative differences, decisive in the choice of a calling, do not exist between masculine and feminine endowment. It is true that these propositions seem to require a somewhat more cautious statement. Even in respect of that average inferiority, it cannot as yet be regarded as established that, where intellectual gifts are concerned, it is an ultimate unalterable...
Σελίδα 88 - the preference for dialectic expressed here and elsewhere in Plato bespeaks an intellectual attitude which is almost the opposite of that of modern science. For him all that is given in experience counts as a hindrance and a barrier to be broken through : we, on the other hand, are learning to content ourselves more and more with what is so given.
