It is in fact very idle to talk about duties – the very word itself has in it, something
disagreeable & repulsive – & talk about it as we may, the word will not become
a rule of conduct. A man – a moralist, gets into an elbow chair – &
pours forth pompous dogmatisms about duty – & duties. Why is he not
listened to? Because every man is thinking about interests. It is a part
of his very nature to think first about interests – & with these the
well judging moralist on will find it for his interest to begin. Let him
say what he pleases, – to interest, duty must & will be made subservient.
