Even when the vice of inhumanity rises not to this extreme degree, our sentiments concerning it are very much influenced by reflections on the harm that results from it.

 To which we may add, that this agreement or disagreement, not admitting of degrees, all virtues and vices would of course be equal. 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. 

The uneasiness and satisfaction are not only inseparable from vice and virtue, but constitute their very nature and essence.

 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.  Nothing causes greater vanity than any shining quality in our relations; as nothing mortifies us more than their vice or infamy. For, first, there are other virtues and vices beside those which have this tendency to the public advantage and loss.
