Herbert Spencer Quotes
As There Must Be Moderation In Other Things, So There Must Be Moderation In Self-criticism. Perpetual Contemplation Of Our Own Actions Produces A Morbid Consciousness, Quite Unlike That Normal Consciousness Accompanying Right Actions Spontaneously Done; And From A State Of Unstable Equilibrium Long Maintained By Effort, There Is Apt To Be A Fall Towards Stable Equilibrium, In Which The Primitive Nature Reasserts Itself. Retrogression Rather Than Progression May Hence Result.
