Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.
Happiness lies neither in vice nor in virtue; but in the manner we appreciate the one and the other, and the choice we make pursuant to our individual organization.
Happiness... consists in giving, and in serving others.
The independence of all political and other bother is a happiness.
Happiness or satisfaction consists only in the enjoyment of those objects which are by nature suited to our several particular appetites, passions, and affections.
One of the standards on which your happiness is based, now and in your future, is moral purity.
The object of government in peace and in war is not the glory of rulers or of races, but the happiness of common man.
Happiness is a byproduct of function, purpose, and conflict; those who seek happiness for itself seek victory without war.
The true basis of morality is utility; that is, the adaptation of our actions to the promotion of the general welfare and happiness; the endeavour so to rule our lives that we may serve and bless mankind.
Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.
