The passions do not always follow our corrections; but these corrections serve sufficiently to regulate our abstract notions, and are alone regarded, when we pronounce in general concerning the degrees of vice and virtue.

 The virtue and vice must be part of our character in order to excite pride or humility. Ideas always represent their objects or impressions; and vice versa, there are some objects necessary to give rise to every idea. SECT. VII OF VICE AND VIRTUE 

Suppose, that instead of the virtue or vice of a son or brother, which causes first love or hatred, and afterwards pride or humility, we place these good or bad qualities on ourselves, without any immediate connexion with the person, who is related to us: Experience shews us, that by this change of situation the whole chain is broke, and that the mind is not conveyed from one passion to another, as in the preceding instance.

 SECT. VII OF VICE AND VIRTUE The very essence of virtue, according to this hypothesis, is to produce pleasure and that of vice to give pain. That faculty of the soul, which, of all others, is of the least consequence to the character, and has the least virtue or vice in its several degrees, at the same time, that it admits of a great variety of degrees, is the memory.
