Excerpt from Good Life: Extracted From the True Plan of a Living Temple, or Man Considered in His Proper Relation to the Ordinary Occupations and Pursuits of Life

Gence, and negligent self-culture, lies within those boundaries of right and wrong, which are well established and Clearly enough discerned. The extremes of good and ill desert are sufficiently obvious; fences against the public weal must be accurately described, or they could not be brought within the cog nizance of prescribed laws, but/it is an extremely small part of human conduct that can be thus accurately defined.

But the questions in every individual case.
