We likewise judge of objects more from comparison than from their real and intrinsic merit; and where we cannot by some contrast enhance their value, we are apt to overlook even what is essentially good in them.

If we say; "Everybody has either a good or a bad smell," we have omitted a third possible judgement--it has no smell at all; and thus both conflicting statements may be false.

We blame all disloyalty to magistrates; because we perceive, that the execution of justice, in the stability of possession, its translation by consent, and the performance of promises, is impossible, without submission to government.
