[46.] (3.) Moderate.—You form but few attachments, and manifest but a moderate degree of affection for any one. If you make friends, it is more likely to be through some other good qualities you may possess tlian through your social nature; and while you may be greatly re- spected and esteemed, you are not likely to be so generally loved, Cultivate.
