Mill Quotations
Every man who repeats the dogma of Mill that one country is no fit to rule another country must admit that one class is not fit to rule another class.
B. R. Ambedkar
Then my mother had several strokes and my father, who was 85, couldn't handle it, so Donna came back and we went through the same thing here. She lives in Mill Valley; her group is organizing this event.
Sally Quinn
Mothers, unless they were very poor, didn't work. Both of my parents had to leave education. My mother had to work in a cotton mill until 18 or 19, when she took some training in domestic science.
Roger Bannister
Theologians have a great problem because they're seeking to speak about God. Since God is the ground of everything that is, there's a sense in which every human inquiry is grist to the theological mill. Obviously, no theologian can know everything.
John Polkinghorne
Week by week my orders grew, and the flat of the old mill soon assumed a very busy aspect.
James Nasmyth
We had grain but no mills, so I designed a special mill of wood so we could make flour.
Mikhail Kalashnikov
I'm frustrated by something, it's my fault for exposing myself to it in the first place. The rumor mill always seemed like a grass fire to me. Why walk out in the middle of the field, it's just going to flame out and go away just like everything else does?
Amy Grant
The village had a mill near it, situated on the little creek, which made very good flour. The population consisted of civilized Indians, but much mixed blood.
Zebulon Pike
If my impressions are correct, our educational planing mill cuts down all the knots of genius, and reduces the best of the men who go through it to much the same standard.
Simon Newcomb
The summer of 1830 I... blasted the tunnel through the rock to take water from the dam above the falls for the mill... In 1831 we lowered the tunnel four feet, and built a new dam across the creek.
Ezra Cornell
I have been taking my daily walk round the island, and visited the sugar mill and the threshing mill again.
Fanny Kemble
All these stories are grist to the mill of the government because they build up a very useful war psychosis.
Helen Suzman
The world rolls round forever like a mill; it grinds out death and life and good and ill; it has no purpose, heart or mind or will.
James Thomson
If, however, the success of a politician is to be measured by the degree in which he is able personally to influence the course of politics, and attach to himself a school of political thought, then Mr. Mill, in the best meaning of the words, has succeeded.
Millicent Fawcett
The mill cannot grind with the water that is past.
Daniel D. Palmer
Just as radical heirs apparent are said to lay aside all inconvenient revolutionary opinions when they come to the throne, it was believed that Mr. Mill in Parliament would be an entirely different person from Mr. Mill in his study.
Millicent Fawcett
The assertion of failure coming from such persons does not mean that Mr. Mill failed to promote the practical success of those objects the advocacy of which forms the chief feature of his political writings.
Millicent Fawcett
It is almost impossible to imagine that any one could be so insensible to the high morality of Mr. Mill's character as to suggest to him any course of conduct that was not entirely upright and consistent.
Millicent Fawcett
There is little doubt that the majority of Mr. Mill's supporters in 1865 did not know what his political opinions were, and that they voted for him simply on his reputation as a great thinker.
Millicent Fawcett
The disparity between a restaurant's price and food quality rises in direct proportion to the size of the pepper mill.
Bryan Miller
What is true of Mr. Mill's influence on the women's-suffrage question is true also of the other political movements in which he took an active interest.
Millicent Fawcett
Oh, to be home again, home again, home again! Under the apple-boughs, down by the mill!
James Thomas Fields
