No "Affinities" in Vice.

It is idle to talk of the vices as a sisterhood. There may be association, but no affiliation. Knaves may be companions, but not friends. The vain dislike the vain; the proud hate the proud; the covetous hate the covetous; but the virtuous are never at war. The just love the just; the chaste esteem the chaste; the benevolent admire the benevolent; in short, all good things harmonize; all bad things are discordant, both with the good and with each other.—Sel.
