801. It can hence be evident that ends dispose men, and that man's life consists in his ends, which for the most part are his loves, and his ends taken together are, as it were, his soul, and such does his soul become. For the soul of man only regards ends, and is the complex of ends. Thus man during the life of the body forms for himself his soul, which is his disposition and instinct.
