If A Man Doesn't Find Ease In

Self-love Increases Or Diminishes For Us The Good Qualities Of Our Friends, In Proportion To The Satisfaction We Feel With Them; And We Judge Of Their Merit By The Manner In Which They Act Towards Us.

Politeness Is A Desire To Be Treated Politely, And To Be Esteemed Polite Oneself.

In The Misfortunes Of Our Best Friends We Always Find Something Not Altogether Displeasing To Us.

We Do Not Like To Praise, And Seldom Praise Anyone Without Self-interest.

That Good Disposition Which Boasts Of Being Most Tender Is Often Stifled By The Least Urging Of Self-interest.
