Happiness Does Not Consist In Self-love.

The Private Interest Of The Individual Would Not Be Sufficiently Provided For By Reasonable And Cool Self-love Alone; Therefore The Appetites And Passions Are Placed Within As A Guard And Further Security, Without Which It Would Not Be Taken Due Care Of.

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.

The First Thought Is Often The Best.

In All Common Ordinary Cases, We See Intuitively At First View What Is Out Duty, What Is The Honest Part. This Is The Ground Of The Observation, That The First Thought Is Often The Best. In These Cases, Doubt And Deliberation Is Itself Dishonesty; As It Was In Balaam Upon The Second Message.

The Love Of Liberty That Is Not A Real Principle Of Dutiful Behavior To Authority Is As Hypocritical As The Religion That Is Not Productive Of A Good Life.
