Morality is an intrinsic part of self-interest.

Because I took it to mean that there are parts of self interest out side of morality. And that there are parts of morality out side of self interest. What part of morality is outside of self interest?

I don't think any part of morality is outside of self-interest. Lots of things that are part of self-interest are not moral, wanting to keep the $1000 could be entirely non-moral (although you could constuct examples where you need the $1000 for moral purposes).

Roughly, I would define the moral parts of self-interest as those that are about others.
