Things And Actions Are What

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?

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

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.

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.

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.
