I call the world a moral world, in so far as it may be in accordance with all the ethical laws--which, by virtue of the freedom of reasonable beings, it can be, and according to the necessary laws of morality it ought to be.

 I must farther add, that there are several circumstances, which render this hypothesis much more probable with regard to the natural than the artificial virtues. A virtuous motive, therefore, must precede the regard to the virtue, and it is impossible, that the virtuous motive and the regard to the virtue can be the same. Our reputation, our character, our name are considerations of vast weight and importance; and even the other causes of pride; virtue, beauty and riches; have little influence, when not seconded by the opinions and sentiments of others. To have the sense of virtue, is nothing but to feel a satisfaction of a particular kind from the contemplation of a character.
