And it arises so naturally, that there is nothing in us or belonging to us, which produces surprize, that does not at the same time excite that other passion.

 Space and time are the pure forms thereof; sensation the matter. This significance they derive from sensibility, which at the same time realizes the understanding and restricts it. It has been observed in treating of the understanding, that the distinction, which we sometimes make betwixt a power and the exercise of it, is entirely frivolous, and that neither man nor any other being ought ever to be thought possest of any ability, unless it be exerted and put in action. Add to this, that though pride, or self-applause, be sometimes disagreeable to others, it is always agreeable to ourselves; as on the other hand, modesty, though it gives pleasure to every one, who observes it, produces often uneasiness in the person endowed with it.
