- 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.
In giving a reason, therefore, for the pleasure or uneasiness, we sufficiently explain the vice or virtue. Now as the means to an end can only be agreeable, where the end is agreeable; and as the good of society, where our own interest is not concerned, or that of our friends, pleases only by sympathy: It follows, that sympathy is the source of the esteem, which we pay to all the artificial virtues. In another sense of the word; as no principle of the human mind is more natural than a sense of virtue; so no virtue is more natural than justice.
