On Liberty / Utilitarianism
John Stuart Mill
In a world in which there is so much to interest, so much to enjoy, and so much also to correct and improve, everyone who has this moderate amount of moral and intellectual requisites is capable of an existence which may be called enviable; and unless such a person, through bad laws, or subjection to the will of others, is denied the liberty to use the sources of happiness within his reach, he will not fail to find the enviable existence
John Stuart Mill

Jeremy Bentham
Happiness is a very pretty thing to feel, but very dry to talk about.
Jeremy Bentham, The Panopticon Writings
