4. Virtue vs. Vice
• “If there are men who cannot feel the delight
of giving happiness to others, I sincerely pity
them, as they are incapable of tasting what is,
in my opinion, a greater honour, a higher
interest, and a sweeter pleasure, than the
ambitious, the avaricious, or the voluptuous
man can ever obtain.” ~ Tom Jones (P. 644)

5. Virtue vs. Vise
• “I am not a hardened sinner; I thank Heaven I
have had time to reflect on my past life, where,
though I cannot charge myself with any gross
villainy, yet I can discern follies and vices too
sufficient to repent and be ashamed of; follies
which have been attended with dreadful
consequences to myself, and have brought me
to the brink of destruction. ~ Tom Jones
(P.853)
