OK, I've decided that this will be my place for all sorts of quotes, not just "Mormon Quotes." I doubt anyone else will ever find this blog anyway. So here is a place to put all sorts of quotes.
"It is indisputable that the being whose capacities of enjoyment are low, has the greatest chance of having them fully satisfied; and a highly endowed being will always feel that any happiness which he can look for, as the world is constituted, is imperfect. But he can learn to bear its imperfections, if they are at all bearable; and they will not make him envy the being who is indeed unconcsious of the imperfections, but only because he feels not at all the good which those imperfections qualify.
"It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatsifeid than a food satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, is of a different opinon, it is only because they only know their own side of the questions."
John Stuart Mill, Utilitarianism
