In short, I can conceive that great part of the miseries of mankind are brought upon them by the false estimates they have made of the value of things, and by their _giving too much for their IN SHORT I CAN CONCEIVE THAT THE GREAT PART OF THE MISERIES OF MANKIND ARE BROUGHT UPON THEM BY THE FALSE ESTIMATES THEY HAVE MADE OF THE VALUE OF THINGS AND BY THEIR GIVING TOO MUCH FOR THEIR WHISTLE AND OF SECTION ONE
 I, _too much for his whistle_. If I knew a miser, who gave up every kind of comfortable living, all the pleasure of doing good to others, all the esteem of his fellow citizens, and the joys of benevolent friendship, for the sake of accumulating wealth, _Poor man_, said I, _you pay too much for your whistle_. When I met with a man of pleasure, sacrificing every laudable improvement of the mind or of his fortune to mere corporeal sensations, and ruining his health in their pursuit, _Mistaken man_, said I, _you are providing pain for yourself instead of pleasure; you give too much for your whistle_. If I see one fond of appearance, or fine clothes, fine houses, fine furniture, fine equipages, all above his fortune, for which he contracts debts and ends his days in prison, _Alas!_ say I, _he has paid dear, very dear, for his whistle_. When I see a beautiful, sweet-tempered girl married to an ill-natured brute of a husband, _What a pity_, say I, _that she should pay so much for a whistle_!  AND RUINING THEM BY THAT NEGLECT HE PAYS INDEED SAID I TOO MUCH FOR HIS WHISTLE IF I KNEW A MISER WHO GAVE UP EVERY KIND OF COMFORTABLE LIVING ALL THE PLEASURE OF DOING GOOD TO OTHERS ALL THE ESTEEM OF HIS FELLOW CITIZENS AND THE JOYS OF BENEVOLENT FRIENDSHIP FOR THE SAKE OF ACCUMULATING WEALTH POOR MAN SAID I YOU PAY TOO MUCH FOR YOUR WHISTLE WHEN I MET WITH A MAN OF PLEASURE SACRIFICING EVERY LAUDABLE IMPROVEMENT OF THE MIND OR OF HIS FORTUNE TO MERE CORPOREAL SENSATIONS AND RUINING HIS HEALTH IN THEIR PURSUIT MISTAKEN MAN SAID I YOU ARE PROVIDING PAIN FOR YOURSELF INSTEAD OF PLEASURE YOU GIVE TOO MUCH FOR YOUR WHISTLE IF I SEE ONE FOND OF APPEARANCE OR FINE CLOTHES FINE HOUSES FINE FURNITURE FINE EQUIPAGES ALL ABOVE HIS FORTUNE FOR WHICH HE CONTRACTS DEBTS AND ENDS HIS DAYS IN PRISON ALAS SAY I HE HAS PAID DEAR VERY DEAR FOR HIS WHISTLE WHEN I SEE A BEAUTIFUL SWEET TEMPERED GIRL MARRIED TO AN ILL NATURED BRUTE OF A HUSBAND WHAT A PITY SAY I THAT SHE SHOULD PAY SO MUCH FOR A WHISTLE
