John Stuart Mill
“When people who are tolerably fortunate in their outward lot
do not find in life sufficient enjoyment to make it valuable to them, the
cause generally is, caring for nobody but themselves”
John Stuart Mill, Utilitarianism

John Stuart Mill
“Our moral faculty, according to all those of its interpreters who are entitled to the name of thinkers, supplies us only with the general principles of moral judgements; it is a branch of our reason, not of our sensitive faculty; and must be looked to for the abstract doctrines of morality, not for perception of it in the concrete.”
John Stuart Mill, Utilitarianism
