Quote by John Stuart Mill
The duty of man is the same in respect to his own nature as in respect to the nature of all other things, namely not to follow it but to amend it.
Summary
This quote emphasizes that it is the duty of individuals, not only to conform to their own nature, but also to strive for self-improvement. Just as it is not enough to simply align oneself with the external world, such as the nature of other things, one must also constantly work towards bettering their own inherent nature. It suggests that humans have a responsibility to acknowledge their flaws or shortcomings and actively seek personal growth and development.
