Page "Utilitarianism" Paragraph 40

::" The principle of utility does not mean that any given pleasure, as music, for instance, or any given exemption from pain, as for example health, are to be looked upon as means to a collective something termed happiness, and to be desired on that account.

They are desired and desirable in and for themselves ; besides being means, they are a part of the end.

Virtue, according to the utilitarian doctrine, is not naturally and originally part of the end, but it is capable of becoming so ; and in those who love it disinterestedly it has become so, and is desired and cherished, not as a means to happiness, but as a part of their happiness.
