 Of La Rochelle’s irascible emotions with the “arduous and difficult objects”, ambition and hope pertain to future honor and prosperity, hope involving the belief that they will be achieved. The opposites of these are poverty of spirit and desperation. Three emotions, pride, lust for power, and contempt, are associated with attempts to strengthen one’s social rank and power. The opposite of pride and lust for power is humility, and the opposite of contempt is reverence. Of the acts directed towards evil things, courage is a desire to meet the enemy with confidence, anger is a desire for revenge, and magnanimity is rising up against evil. Three forms of the flight from evil are somehow opposites of courage: penitence toward past evil things, impatience with present evil things, and fear of future evil things.
