Adam cared more for the happiness of Eve than for his own,
and Eve at the same time more for the happiness of Adam
than for her own, Satan might have spared himself
the trouble of temptation — mutual misery would have
marred all prospect of bliss — and the death of both
have brought to a speedy finish termination the history of man.

D It is very idle to talk about duties — the very word
has in it something disagreable and repulsive; and
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 dogmatism 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; and with these
the well-judging moralist will find it for his
interest to begin. Let him say what he pleases, to
interest must and will be made subservient.
