Happiness Does Not Consist In Self-love.

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

Things And Actions Are What They Are, And The Consequences Of Them Will Be What They Will Be: Why Then Should We Desire To Be Deceived?

Self-love Then Does Not Constitute This Or That To Be Our Interest Or Good; But, Our Interest Or Good Being Constituted By Nature And Supposed, Self-love Only Puts Us Upon Obtaining And Securing It.

Every Thing Is What It Is, And Not Another Thing.

Remember Likewise There Are Persons Who Love Fewer Words, An Inoffensive Sort Of People, And Who Deserve Some Regard, Though Of Too Still And Composed Tempers For You.
