Every Thing Is What It Is, And

But To Us, Probability Is The Very Guide Of Life.

Pain And Sorrow And Misery Have A Right To Our Assistance: Compassion Puts Us In Mind Of The Debt, And That We Owe It To Ourselves As Well As To The Distressed.

Every Man Hath A General Desire Of His Own Happiness; And Likewise A Variety Of Particular Affections, Passions, And Appetites To Particular External Objects.

Both Our Senses And Our Passions Are A Supply To The Imperfection Of Our Nature; Thus They Show That We Are Such Sort Of Creatures As To Stand In Need Of Those Helps Which Higher Orders Of Creatures Do Not.

Happiness Does Not Consist In Self-love.
