Quote by John Stuart Mill

There are no means of finding what either one person or many can do, but by trying - and no means by which anyone else can discover for them what it is for their happiness to do or leave undone

There are no means of finding what either one person or many

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of individual experience and choice in determining one's abilities and the path to happiness. It suggests that the only way to truly know oneself and discover one's potential is through practical experimentation and taking action. Additionally, it highlights that no external entity, whether an individual or a group, can dictate what actions someone should take or avoid in order to find happinessâ€”it is a deeply personal journey that each person has to independently explore and decide for themselves.
