Quote by Bentham, Jeremy
"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."
More from Bentham, Jeremy
"It is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong."
"Nature has placed mankind under two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure."
"The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?"
"All punishment is mischief; all punishment in itself is evil."
