Jeremy Bentham
All government is a trust. Every branch of government is a trust, and immemorially acknowledged to be so.
Jeremy Bentham
I don't care whether animals are capable of thinking all I care about is that they are capable of suffering!
Jeremy Bentham
Stretching his hand up to reach the stars, too often man forgets the flowers at his feet.
Jeremy Bentham

Jeremy Bentham

Jeremy Bentham
The question is not can animals speak but can they suffer.

Jeremy Bentham
The said truth is that it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong.
Jeremy Bentham
The spirit of dogmatic theology poisons anything it touches.
Jeremy Bentham
All punishment is mischief all punishment in itself is evil.
Jeremy Bentham
There is no pestilence in a state like a zeal for religion, independent of morality.
Jeremy Bentham
Prose is when all the lines except the last go on to the end. Poetry is when some of them fall short of it.
Jeremy Bentham
