"The love of justice and the love..." - Quote by Thomas Jefferson

“Idleness begets ennui, ennui the hypochondriac, and that a diseased body. No laborious person was ever yet hysterical.”

“The chief purpose of government is to protect life. Abandon that and you have abandoned all.”

“Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst, and cold.”

“... our purpose in founding our state was not to promote the happiness of a single class, but, so far as possible, of the whole community. Our idea was that we were most likely to justice in such a community, and so be able to decide the question we are trying to answer. We are therefore at the moment trying to construct what we think is a happy community by securing the happiness not of a select minority, but of a whole.”

“Trusting that you will some time or other do me greater justice than you can do now.”

“As long as women are bound by poverty and as long as they are looked down upon, human rights will lack substance.”

“It is in everybody's interest to seek those [actions] that lead to happiness and avoid those which lead to suffering. And because our interests are inextricably linked, we are compelled to accept ethics as the indispensable interface between my desire to be happy and yours.”

“Be good and you'll be lonesome”

“Most people approve of capital punishment, but most people wouldn't do the hangman's job.”
