Author of quotes: Jeremy (Jeremiah) Bentham

All happiness is good, the game of tiddlywinks is not worse than the poetry, if it is able to deliver the same pleasure.

People increases your happiness in the measure in which he delivers it to others.

Jealousy is a Vice of a limited mind.

The philosopher, - he wrote - wants to change some bad law does not preach revolt against this law. Quite different from the anarchist. Anarchist denies the existence of such a law denies the right of law to tell us, excites the people to the rejection of the law of mandatory commands and calls to rebellion against the implementation of the law.

The time will come when humanity will be humane to every creature that breathes.

There will come a day when all animals will find those inalienable rights, to violate that dares only the power of tyranny... one day we finally realize that the number of limbs, the quality of the fur or the structure of the spine does not have reason sufficient to determine the fate of a living being. What else can serve as the criterion for determining the line that we were not allowed to cross? Maybe that's a reason or meaningful speech? But then an adult horse or dog is a much more reasonable and sociable creature than the baby that day, week or even a month old. Let us even assume that the reality would be the opposite, but what difference does it make in the end? The question is not can they reason? Can they speak? But whether they suffer?
