Publicity is the very soul of justice. It is the keenest spur to exertion, and the surest of all guards against improbity.

Jeremy Bentham 76 quotes

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.

The spirit of dogmatic theology poisons anything it touches.

[I]n principle and in practice, in a right track and in a wrong one, the rarest of all human qualities is consistency.

Lawyers sometimes tell the truth. They'll do anything to win a case.

Prose is when all the lines except the last go on to the end. Poetry is when some of them fall short of it.

All government is a trust. Every branch of government is a trust, and immemorially acknowledged to be so.

If Christianity needed an Anti-Christ, they needed look no farther than Paul.

Jeremy Bentham 76 quotes

What else is it that should t...

What else is it that should trace the insuperable line? Is it the faculty of reason or perhaps the faculty of discourse? But a full-grown horse or dog is beyond comparison a more rational, as well as more conversable animal, than an infant of a day or a week or even a month old. But suppose they were otherwise, what would it avail? The question is not, Can they reason?, nor Can they talk? but, Can they suffer? 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.

Jeremy Bentham 76 quotes

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.

Jeremy Bentham 76 quotes

As to the evil which results from censorship, it is impossible to measure it, because it is impossible to tell where it ends.

Jeremy Bentham 76 quotes

Bodies are real entities. Sur...

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.

Jeremy Bentham 76 quotes

An absolute and unlimited right over any object of property would be the right to commit nearly every crime.If Ihad sucha right over thestick Iamaboutto cut, I might employ it as a mace to knock down the passengers, or I might convert it into a sceptre as an emblem of royalty, or into an idol to offend the national religion.

It is with government as with medicine, its only business is the choice of evils. Every law is an evil, for every law is an infraction of liberty.

All government is a trust. Every branch of government is a trust, and immemorially acknowledged to be so.

A civilized society must count animals as worthy of moral consideration and ethical treatment. The question is not, Can they reason? nor Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?

Among the several cloudy appellatives which have been commonly employed as cloaks for misgovernment, there is none more conspicuous in this atmosphere of illusion than the word Order.
