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.

Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.

Right... is the child of law.

The law of England has established trial by judge and jury in the conviction that it is the mode best calculated to ascertain the truth.

...the rarest of all human qualities is consistency.

Secrecy, being an instrument of conspiracy, ought never to be the system of a regular government.

Pleasure is in itself a good; nay, even setting aside immunity from pain, the only good.
