Quote by Bentham, Jeremy
"All pleasure is good, and all pain is bad; the task is to maximize the former and minimize the latter."

"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."
