>If it be true that the same suffering is much harder to bear for a
high motive than for a base one (the people who stood, motionless,
from one to eight o’clock in the morning for the sake of
having an egg, would have found it very difficult to do so in

and misfortunes than a noble one. Napoleon’s soldiers. Hence the use of cruelty in order to sustain or raise the morale of

weakness.
>This is a particular example of the law which generally puts
force on the side of baseness. Gravity is, as it were, a symbol
of it.
