Thus the good and bad qualities of our actions and manners constitute virtue and vice, and determine our personal character, than which nothing operates more strongly on these passions.

 To which we may add, that this agreement or disagreement, not admitting of degrees, all virtues and vices would of course be equal. The man of a mild disposition and tender affections, in forming a notion of the most perfect virtue, mixes in it more of benevolence and humanity, than the man of courage and enterprize, who naturally looks upon a certain elevation of mind as the most accomplished character. 
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.
 Whether this virtue of humility has been rightly understood, I shall not pretend to determine. Without such a convention, no one would ever have dreamed, that there was such a virtue as justice, or have been induced to conform his actions to it. Our own virtues produce not first pride, and then love to a friend or brother; because the passage in that case would be from contiguous to remote, contrary to its propensity.
