Happiness Does Not Consist In Self-love.

Every Man Is To Be Considered In Two Capacities, The Private And Public; As Designed To Pursue His Own Interest, And Likewise To Contribute To The Good Of Others.

Man May Act According To That Principle Or Inclination Which For The Present Happens To Be Strongest, And Yet Act In A Way Disproportionate To, And Violate His Real Proper Nature.

People Habituate Themselves To Let Things Pass Through Their Minds, As One May Speak, Rather Than To Think Of Them. Thus By Use They Become Satisfied Merely With Seeing What Is Said, Without Going Any Further. Review And Attention, And Even Forming A Judgment, Becomes Fatigue; And To Lay Anything Before Them That Requires It, Is Putting Them Quite Out Of Their Way.

Virtue, As Such, Naturally Procures Considerable Advantages To The Virtuous.

Compassion Is A Call, A Demand Of Nature, To Relieve The Unhappy As Hunger Is A Natural Call For Food
