My Emma, does not every thing serve to prove more and more the beauty of truth and sincerity in all our dealings with each other?
In his dealings with the world, the gentleman is not invariably for or against anything. He is on the side of what is moral.
It’s true that someone will always say that good and evil don’t exist: that is a person who has never had any dealings with real evil. Good is far less convincing than evil, but it’s because their chemical structures are different. Like gold, good is never found in a pure state in nature: it therefore doesn’t seem impressive. It has the unfortunate tendency not to act; it prefers, passively, to be seen.
