Remember Likewise There Are Persons Who Love

The Object Of Self-love Is Expressed In The Term Self; And Every Appetite Of Sense, And Every Particular Affection Of The Heart, Are Equally Interested Or Disinterested, Because The Objects Of Them All Are Equally Self Or Somewhat Else.

Happiness Or Satisfaction Consists Only In The Enjoyment Of Those Objects Which Are By Nature Suited To Our Several Particular Appetites, Passions, And Affections.

That Which Is The Foundation Of All Our Hopes And Of All Our Fears; All Our Hopes And Fears Which Are Of Any Consideration; I Mean A Future Life.

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?

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.
