In saying, then, that the sentiments of vice and virtue are natural in this sense, we make no very extraordinary discovery.

 

I cannot imagine where I would be or what I would be doing had I not.

 For these reasons the former qualities are esteemed virtues, and the latter regarded as vices. Sympathy interests us in the good of mankind; and if sympathy were the source of our esteem for virtue, that sentiment of approbation coued only take place, where the virtue actually attained its end, and was beneficial to mankind. Nothing is more disagreeable than a man's over-weaning conceit of himself: Every one almost has a strong propensity to this vice: No one can well distinguish in himself betwixt the vice and virtue, or be certain, that his esteem of his own merit is well-founded: For these reasons, all direct expressions of this passion are condemned; nor do we make any exception to this rule in favour of men of sense and merit.
