CHAPTER VII--SELF-LOVE
10/20

No.

For, let a man be fortunate enough to be on your side; let him pass over to your party; let him become profitable to you; let him be clever enough and mean enough to praise and to flatter you up to the top of your appetite for praise and flattery, and, no doubt, you will love that man.

Or, if that is not exactly love, at least it is no longer hate.

But let that man unfortunately be led to leave your party; let him cease being profitable to you; let him weary of flattering you with his praise; let him forget you, neglect you, despise you, and go against you, and then look at your own heart.

Do you care now to know what malice is?
Well, that is malice that distorts and rends your heart as often as you meet that man on the street or even pass by his door.
