Happiness Does Not Consist In Self-love.

The Sum Of The Whole Is Plainly This: The Nature Of Man Considered In His Single Capacity, And With Respect Only To The Present World, Is Adapted And Leads Him To Attain The Greatest Happiness He Can For Himself In The Present World.

The Satisfaction That Accompanies Good Acts Is Itself Not The Motivation Of The Act; Satisfaction Is Not The Motive, But Only The Consequence.

The Tongue May Be Employed About, And Made To Serve All The Purposes Of Vice, In Tempting And Deceiving, In Perjury And Injustice.

As This World Was Not Intended To Be A State Of Any Great Satisfaction Or High Enjoyment, So Neither Was It Intended To Be A Mere Scene Of Unhappiness And Sorrow.

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