Every Thing Is What It

Every One Of Our Passions And Affections Hath Its Natural Stint And Bound, Which May Easily Be Exceeded; Whereas Our Enjoyments Can Possibly Be But In A Determinate Measure And Degree.

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

Virtue Is Not To Be Considered In The Light Of Mere Innocence, Or Abstaining From Harm; But As The Exertion Of Our Faculties In Doing Good.

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

The First Thought Is Often The Best.
