Famous quotes containing the word mill:

    “Ask yourself whether you are happy, and you cease to be so.”
    —John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)

    “Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff to any degree of fineness; but, nevertheless, what you get out depends on what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)

    “The general tendency of things throughout the world is to render mediocrity the ascendant power among mankind.”
    —John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)
