Deontology Theoretical Ch. Pride & Vanity

6

In regard to Pride, and so in regard to Vanity, whether
the disposition shall have in it more of the character a tendency to virtue,
or more of the character of Vice, seems to depend in some
measure upon the station level occupied by the man in the scale
of society.

As to pride — n. th. station of the ruling few,
pride is more apt to assume dispose the mind to the character of to virtue vice
than that of virtue. Vanity more apt to receive dispose the mind the character
of Vice.

Pride when in the case in which it runs into vice is the characteristic
vice of the belonging to the station of the ruling few: having being
in proportion a degree to their his elevation exempt from the need of spontaneous
services at the hands of other men, to the man of rank
the spontaneous services of other men, and thence their value are
to him objects of if not absolutely, at comparatively at least,
objects of indifference: and the less in his eyes is the
need he has of their services, the less is he disposed to render
services to them any services at his own expence to be at the expence
of rendering services to them: even those services of urbanity
which cost to him who renders them cost so little

Pride therefore, in that situation, is apt to put under draw men aside from benevolence
and beneficence: it suggests promotes to prudence, that in the character of rivals benevolence and
beneficence
