Self-love then does not constitute THIS or THAT to be our interest or good; but, our interest or good being constituted by nature and supposed, self-love only puts us upon obtaining and securing it.Joseph Butler
Select Joseph Butler Quotations
For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
Joseph Butler
But to us, probability is the very guide of life.
Joseph Butler
Thus there is no doubt the eye was intended for us to see with.
Joseph Butler
Consequently it will often happen there will be a desire of particular objects, in cases where they cannot be obtained without manifest injury to others.
Joseph Butler
The private interest of the individual would not be sufficiently provided for by reasonable and cool self-love alone; therefore the appetites and passions are placed within as a guard and further security, without which it would not be taken due care of.
Joseph Butler
Thus self-love as one part of human nature, and the several particular principles as the other part, are, themselves, their objects and ends, stated and shown.
Joseph Butler
The object of self-love is expressed in the term self; and every appetite of sense, and every particular affection of the heart, are equally interested or disinterested, because the objects of them all are equally self or somewhat else.
