all good things which exist are fruits of originality -
one person with a belief is equal to 99 who have only interests -
pleasure and freedom from pain are the only things desirable as ends -
men may as well be imprisoned, as excluded from the means of earning their bread -
actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness, wrong as they send to promote the reverse of happiness. by happiness is intended pleasure and the absence of pain -
there are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home -
life has a certain flavor for those who have fought and risked all that sheltered and protected can never experience -
John Stuart Mill 1806 - 1873
