Quotations is about words, written and spoken throughout history. Words speak to us through our eyes and our ears. They enrich our lives, allow us to communicate thoughts to others, and sometimes, last for generations. This podcast explores not only the words, but the speaker, author, figure, or character who originated them. To whom were they said or written? What was their intended effect and on whom? What was the originator thinking? Find out each episode and we discover new quotations, some familiar, some not!

John Stuart Mill was a utilitarian thinker who spent a lot of time considering what was "right" and how we can be reasonably certain of our rightness before we act. In his book, On Liberty he attempts not to define "rightness" but rather to provide us with a litmus test for the rightness (or wrongness) of our opinions. That test is the topic of today's episode.
