- quote by Hosea Ballou
- quote by Robert G. Ingersoll

- quote by Plutarch

- quote by J. C. Ryle
Still to ourselves in every place consign'd, Our own felicity to make or find.
- quote by Oliver Goldsmith
That Action is best which procures the greatest Happiness for the greatest Numbers; and that worst, which, in like manner, occasions misery.
- quote by Frances Hutcheson
The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of goodgovernment.
- quote by Thomas Jefferson
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; The wise grows it under his feet.
- quote by James Oppenheim
The great end of all human industry, is the attainment of happiness. For this were arts invented, sciences cultivated, laws ordained, and societies modelled, by the most profound wisdom of patriots and legislators. Even the lonely savage, who lies exposed to the inclemency of the elements and the fury of wild beasts, forgets not, for a moment, this grand object, of his being.
- quote by David Hume
The greatest happiness of the greatest number.
- quote by Cesare Beccaria
