All punishment is mischief; all punishment in itself is evil.

Tyranny and anarchy are never far apart.

Jeremy Bentham 76 quotes

The principle of asceticism never was, nor ever can be, consistently pursued by any living creature. Let but one tenth part of the inhabitants of the earth pursue it consistently, and in a day's time they will have turned it into a Hell.

What is it that should trace the insuperable line? ...The question is not, Can they reason? nor Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?

Jeremy Bentham 76 quotes

Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you, --will invite you to add something to the pleasure of others, --or to diminish something of their pains.

No power of government ought to be employed in the endeavor to establish any system or article of belief on the subject of religion.

Jeremy Bentham 76 quotes

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

In the mind of all, fiction, i...

In the mind of all, fiction, in the logical sense, has been the coin of necessity;Ђ'in that of poets of amusementЂ'in that of the priest and the lawyer of mischievous immorality in the shape of mischievous ambition,Ђ'and too often both priest and lawyer have framed or made in part this instrument.

Jeremy Bentham 76 quotes

He who thinks and thinks for h...

He who thinks and thinks for himself, will always have a claim to thanks; it is no matter whether it be right or wrong, so as it be explicit. If it is right, it will serve as a guide to direct; if wrong, as a beacon to warn.

Jeremy Bentham 76 quotes

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

Natural rights is simple nonsense: natural and imprescriptible rights, rhetorical nonsenseЂ'nonsense upon stilts.

Nature has placed mankind under the government of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure.

Is it possible for a man to move the earth? Yes; but he must first find out another earth to stand upon.

There is no pestilence in a state like a zeal for religion, independent of morality.

The spirit of dogmatic theology poisons anything it touches.
