Nothing can be more real, or concern us more, than our own sentiments of pleasure and uneasiness; and if these be favourable to virtue, and unfavourable to vice, no more can be requisite to the regulation of our conduct and behaviour. People are making that kind of money right now by doing the same thing, that is why you get so much email from people selling you their product....it works! But as there is naturally no inclination to observe promises, distinct from a sense of their obligation; it follows, that fidelity is no natural virtue, and that promises have no force, antecedent to human conventions, In virtue of its empirical character, this subject would at the same time be subordinate to all the empirical laws of causality, and, as a phenomenon and member of the sensuous world, its effects would have to be accounted for by a reference to preceding phenomena. These actions are properly what we call justice; and consequently it is on that virtue that the nature of property depends, and not the virtue on the property. We may observe, that all the circumstances requisite for its operation are found in most of the virtues; which have, for the most part, a tendency to the good of society, or to that of the person possessed of them. 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.
