Danh ngôn của Jeremy Bentham (Sứ mệnh: 4)

Lawyers are the only persons in whom ignorance of the law is not punished.
The said truth is that it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong.
The power of the lawyer is in the uncertainty of the law.
The greatest happiness of the greatest number is the foundation of morals and legislation.
Secrecy, being an instrument of conspiracy, ought never to be the system of a regular government.
No power of government ought to be employed in the endeavor to establish any system or article of belief on the subject of religion.
The age we live in is a busy age; in which knowledge is rapidly advancing towards perfection.
Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure. It is for them alone to point out what we ought to do, as well as to determine what we shall do.
