"The sum of the whole is plainly this: The nature of man considered in his single capacity, and with respect only to the present world, is adapted and leads him to attain the greatest happiness he can for himself in the present world."
Happiness
"However, without considering this connection, there is no doubt but that more good than evil, more delight than sorrow, arises from compassion itself; there being so many things which balance the sorrow of it."
Balance
"The final causes, then, of compassion are to prevent and to relieve misery."
Cause

Action

Heart

God

Compassion

"People might love themselves with the most entire and unbounded affection, and yet be extremely miserable."
Love
