Jeremy Bentham Quotes

It is vain to talk of the interest of the community, without understanding what is the interest of the individual Picture Quote #1
The word independence is united to the accessory ideas of dignity and virtue. The word dependence is united to the ideas of inferiority and corruption Picture Quote #1
The turn of a sentence has decided the fate of many a friendship, and, for aught that we know, the fate of many a kingdom Picture Quote #1
As to the evil which results from a censorship, it is impossible to measure it, for it is impossible to tell where it ends Picture Quote #1
The said truth is that it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong Picture Quote #1

The question is not,
Kind words cost no more than unkind ones... and we may scatter the seeds of courtesy and kindliness around us at so little expense. If you would fall into any extreme let it be on the side of gentleness. The human mind is so constructed that it resists vigor and yields to softness Picture Quote #1
The addability of the happiness of different subjects is a postulum without which all political reasonings are at a stand Picture Quote #1
Bodies are real entities. Surfaces and lines are but fictitious entities. A surface without depth, a line without thickness, was never seen by any man; no; nor can any conception be seriously formed of its existence Picture Quote #1
Publicity is the very soul of justice. It is the keenest spur to exertion, and the surest of all guards against improbity Picture Quote #1
How is property given? By restraining liberty; that is, by taking it away so far as necessary for the purpose. How is your house made yours? By debarring every one else from the liberty of entering it without your leave Picture Quote #1

We may scatter the seeds of courtesy and kindness about us at little expense. Some of them will fall on good ground, and grow up into benevolence in the minds of others, and all of them will bear fruit of happiness in the bosom whence they spring Picture Quote #1
I don’t care whether animals are capable of thinking; all I care about is that they are capable of suffering! Picture Quote #1
Pleasure is in itself a good; nay, even setting aside immunity from pain, the only good Picture Quote #1
Why should the law refuse its protection to any sensitive being? The time will come when humanity will extend its mantle over everything which breathes Picture Quote #1
It is the greatest good to the greatest number of people which is the measure of right and wrong Picture Quote #1
Nature has placed mankind under the government of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure... they govern us in all we do, in all we say, in all we think: every effort we can make to throw off our subjection, will serve but to demonstrate and confirm it Picture Quote #1

As to the evil which results from censorship, it is impossible to measure it, because it is impossible to tell where it ends Picture Quote #1
To what shall the character of utility be ascribed, if not to that which is a source of pleasure? Picture Quote #1
Want keeps pace with dignity. Destitute of the lawful means of supporting his rank, his dignity presents a motive for malversation, and his power furnishes the means Picture Quote #1
The day may come when the rest of the animal creation may acquire those rights which never could have been withholden from them but by the hand of tyranny Picture Quote #1
Prose is when all the lines except the last go on to the end. Poetry is when some of them fall short of it Picture Quote #1
Is it possible for a man to move the earth? Yes; but he must first find out another earth to stand upon Picture Quote #1
