"It may occur that the inhabitants of the city of wealth and the inhabitants of the city of play and jesting presume themselves to be delightful, happy, masterful, and more virtuous than the inhabitants of the rest of the cities. Because of what they presume of themselves, it may occur that they have contempt for the inhabitants of other cities, consider those other than them to have no value, and expect love and honor for what—according to them—makes them happy. So it occurs that they become conceited, haughty, boastful, praise-loving; that [they presume] others cannot reach what they have reached; and [presume] that they are therefore too stupid to get even one of these two kinds of happiness. They create for themselves names that embellish their ways of life—for example, that they are the naturally gifted and elegant ones and that those other than them are the crude. Therefore it is presumed that they possess pride, magnanimity, and authority. Sometimes they are called high-minded."
