'auto-icon' of Jeremy Bentham

"Happiness is a very pretty thing to feel,
but very dry to talk about."

* * *

"The greatest happiness of the greatest number is the foundation of morals and legislation."

* * *

"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."

Jeremy Bentham
(1748 - 1832)
