1 This endeavour to bring it about, that our own likes and dislikes should meet
2 with universal approval, is really ambition (see III. xxix. note); wherefore we
3 see that everyone by nature desires (appetere), that the rest of mankind should

5 present in all, everyone stands in everyone else's way, and in wishing to be
6 loved or praised by all, all become mutually hateful.
