Quote by Jeremy Bentham
The principle of asceticism never was, nor ever can be, consistent

The principle of asceticism never was, nor ever can be, consistently pursued by any living creature. Let but one tenth part of the inhabitants of the earth pursue it consistently, and in a days time they will have turned it into a Hell. – Jeremy Bentham
