--He who, guided by [PASSIVE] emotion only, endeavours to cause others to
love what he loves himself, and to make the rest of the world live according
to his own fancy, acts solely by impulse, and is, therefore, hateful,
especially to those who take delight in something different, and accordingly
study and, by similar impulse, endeavour, to make men live in accordance
with what pleases themselves. Again, as the highest good sought by men under
the guidance of emotion is often such, that it can only be possessed by a
single individual, it follows that those who love it are not consistent in
their intentions, but, while they delight to sing its praises, fear to be
believed.
